Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data.

Data is fine and has a place. 

And learning to listen does not hurt.

But splitting hairs and being self absorbed is a wasteland.

Just get up and dance. 

At the end of a day, one has to love AG....or, find it annoying enough to still be drawn like a moth to the flame that will engulf it... ;)

There are those that remain 'techie'...one learns from them, although wheat from chaff still remains work.

There remains those that remind one of cats with tails entwined, slung over a clothesline (Remember those?  Source of the still popular descriptive 'fail' move...), and what generally happens...

The 'good natured' variety is somewhat funny....others?  Not so much.

Voting with @jpwarren58 on this one...volume to 9, and remember why you're here....to hear, not expound....

(...no surprise, I hope, how often I drown y'all out....)

...and I am Definitely not a 'bot....;)

@millercarbon ...*L*  Since you've seemed to have been 'detected and dejected' into the meme of 'Default Audio Buddha'....'Elected by habit, denied option, desired yet debated to the point of detest by others...;

Check.

Checkmate? ;)

('Bots' can't 'do this'....yet....😏...)

"...a little DAB will do ya'...."

...dating self further.... ;)

I just know a lot about audio, find it fascinating, and enjoy answering questions and helping people. In doing so I help myself in the process. Because, writing concise informative answers calls for having ones thoughts in order, and writing as with most things improves with practice. So I get better at both. Plus I had a lot of time to kill at work.

Now being retired I have actually cut back a bit.* But the quality is higher. This is a big plus. The people I want to help get helped even more, and the people I don't their heads explode even more. Audio you see is not a zero sum game. Do it right and we all win.

*As millercarbon. Posting as my other 13 aliases is turning into a full time job. By the way have you noticed Tsushima, nonoise and fuzzball never post at the same time as me? Think about it.
