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

Thanks

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.

We will. Count on it.

Roger Skoff:

not knowing how to listen is a far more important problem than not being able to hear.

I would say for the benefit of some here, applies equally well to ideas as music.

Some of these guys, not you OP, but everyone can guess who I mean, they remind me of the guy who said, "Everyone learns differently. Some learn through the eyes by seeing. Some learn through the hands by doing. I learn through the mouth by talking."
