How's the water?

I'm not sure what the point of the article was. Certainly, if you want sexy from your hi-fi, you're looking in the wrong place and will only be disappointed.

That article really sets the bar for blather. Lays it right on the ground.

Reminds me to pick up a prescription.

 Did anyone listen to the commencement address? For folks who examine and hash out every detail of audio equipment.....not to equally examine your motivations is pure sloth and smugness. 
Fuzztone...are you making a joke about his battle with depression which he ultimately lost? If so poor taste, bad form, and callous to the extreme. 

One more thing Chuck. It seems that blather is your current word of the week. Why not tweak it up a notch to palaver? 
(How about that current reference? And I wasn't even trying.)

Oh no, I’ve been bloviating on blather, banter, BS and baloney for quite some time now. Don’t care for palaver, pontificating, posturing, posing or any of that crap either. What I despise most of all is sloppy pointless writing. So if you have a criticism of my critique don’t prevaricate just come out and say what you mean. That article is so rambling I defy you to summarize it. Go ahead. I may even come back to see what you come up with.

No promises.

In this case, the word “ should” was used as an obligation. Perhaps the OP should have stated that he found it very interesting. There was anger under that use of should, at least two or three layers of it😉.

Putting a value on status
Will cause people to compete
Hoarding treasure
Will turn them into theives
Showing off possessions
Will disturb their daily lives
Thus the Sage rules
By stilling minds and opening hearts
By filling bellies and strengthening bones
He shows people how to be simple
And live without desires
To be content 
And not look for other ways
With the people so pure
Who could trick them?
What clever ideas could lead them astray?
Lao Tzu
