Do I miss MC on this forum? Yes, I do. Was he arrogant? Opinionated? Exasperating? Politically incorrect? Disruptive? Yes, all that and more. But it seemed like performance art; I mean, who in his right mind would appropriate a photo of Einstein as his avatar image that wasn't deliberately trying to provoke? You haters, get over yourselves! Enjoy his posts for what they were.
And what were they, besides exasperating, and all the rest? Well, for one thing, always articulate and witty; MC raised the entertainment value of this forum more than anyone else. AND he was well-informed about audio. And generous with advice, publicly and privately. His advice didn't always work for me, but it was always intelligent and worth trying.
The very fact that he remains a topic of discussion in his own right, contentious or not, is something of an accomplishment. Forums like this are not just about their nominal subjects, they're also about the personalities who participate. And none was more colorful than MC. I hope he returns.
