Geoffkait,
Different people have different definitions of "advanced technology". Your definition suits you very well. |
Geoffkait,
Please explain how the term "advanced technology" applies to your products, such as:
Pretzel Logic Reef Knot Device
Flying Saucers
Baby Promethean Mini Isolators
Brilliant Pebbles
I note how loquacious you normally are on the forums and how sparse -- to date -- your comments have been on this thread. |
Csontos,
It looks like Geoffkait has gotten it a few times here. You might want to call it multi-touche-ed. Can you keep track of this count for us, as well? Thanks. |
Geoffkait,
I see what you mean: advanced technology = Advanced Audio Concepts = high concept = low tech. I got it now. |
Csontos,
I get it now. You're the forum historian who also keeps track of touches. Great. Can you give us a run-down of the 10 best touches in the past 24 months? Can you make this vendor vs. customer as well as customer vs. vendor -- for easy reference? Yeahhhh. Do you also keep a list vendors -- on a 1 to 10 scale for credibility? If so, can you do a sort for us and let us know how things are looking there, too? Whoooeee!! This is gonna be fun!! I'm so glad we have someone who is dedicating their time to providing us with this valuable information. It makes reading the forums so much more meaningful -- as well as a fun time!! |
Csontos,
You just forget who the pretzel man is. No problem. |
Geoffkait,
Have you ever tried daisy-chaining? Beats your low tech/high concept pretzels and springs. Guaranteed. Or your money back. Costs a bit more than $24 or $69, though.
Keep talking Geoffkait -- very impressive. We're getting a real education here. Springs, pebbles, pretzels and flying saucers. Low is high -- a great concept.
You know, that's why I like the forums. They give the opportunity to struggling vendors with great ideas to get ahead with some free advertising. You might eventually want to think about going into politics. You got what it takes. Low is high, high is low, take your pick, and if you don't like them apples I have some oranges over here ... |

"but I have a sneaking suspicion if the Real Scientists ever got wind of the Teleportation Tweak they would laugh so hard milk would squirt out of their noses"
You got a point there, judge!
Ditto. |
"I am not terribly impressed ..." Neither am I. Where's the proof for your bold claim -- except another bold assertion -- backed by more claims? Put up. |
Mapman,
You stated:
"One has to accept that some things fall into the realm that can only be designated as "nonsense". The burden lies on the purveyor of nonsense to make people understand why what they propose is not nonsense, not on others to accept nonsense as something other than what it is. The response to nonsense is often not a positive one. Nor should it be I would think."
What you seem to be saying is that low = high concept is nonsense. If so, you are making a good point here. It is like suspension of disbelief. Purveyors of nonsense tell us if we just suspend disbelief, if we just keep an open mind, then everything is possible. Up can be down and down can be up and low can be high and high can be low. And anything is what they say it is because they say so -- and go prove them wrong. Thus, some vendors are allowed to use the forums to attract all the attention they want. Negative or positive -- half sense/half nonsense -- it doesn't matter. It all ads up to free advertising.
So, when a vendor pulls a smoke-screen, making comments on the system of a private audiophile to distract attention from his commercial agenda, it should be noted that this is not a private audiophile exchanging opinions with another private audiophile on audio matters. This has nothing whatsoever to do with audio matters. It is all about how a vendor uses the forum to promote his commercial interests.
I can think of only one vendor who relies on nonsense to promote his products on the forum. Most vendors have some degree of integrity. Many are beyond reproach. But a few just don't care, one way of the other, as long as they are talked about and maintain a profile. From reading this thread, I don't think Geoffkait gives a hoot as long as he attracts some kind of attention. Any attention will do. I am sure his protestations about integrity will follow with the usual convoluted prose. Don't forget to keep your nonsense meter tuned to this frequency. |
Csontos,
"Gotten" what? I don't see what I am supposed to have "gotten". I have no idea what you are referring to -- or about clicking fingers or about your energy. Is this an inside joke? |
Zenblaster,
I think Csontos is playing a GOTCHA GAME. The only thing is he may be the only one playing. I don't hear any echoes. STICK TO THE SUBJECT OF THE ORIGINAL POST is the name of the game I am playing and I think a few of us are there, thankfully.
Mapman,
I think I have to agree with you when you said, "A lot of (good) science fiction is able to get people to envision how things that would not seem possible or appear to be nonsense might in fact be possible. Bad science fiction tends to be less successful at achieving the suspension of disbelief or leap of faith needed. Bad science fiction might still be regarded as good fantasy though.
My opinion of MD is that it is bad science fiction, but maybe good fantasy. Its more in the "Lost IN Space" camp than "Star Trek". No monsters in rubber suits quite yet though!" |

Raytheprinter,
The only thing I will take issue with is that Ripoff Report is owned by a convicted criminal named Ed Magedson. If you Google him you'll find a lot of interesting material. |
Geoffkait,
It's interesting that you mentioned "SteinMusic Harmonizer, Bybee Quantum Filters, Mpingo Disc, Shakti Stone, Schumann Frequency Generator, CD demagnetizers, tiny little bowl resonators". Are you seriously putting your things on the same playing field? I don't hear anyone else but you doing so. You are unanimous. |
