"

The capacity of Humans for self-deception is apparently unlimited" - Mr.Spock the Vulcan."

     Is the unfathomable irony, of one that IMAGINES themselves a fictional intelligence operative, posting a quote from ANOTHER fictional character, lost on anyone?

He has also self deceived himself into believing that 15 systems worth of 40 year old stuff is the top of the mountain. He could have spent half of what he has invested into a good room and good components and actually HAVE a good system. It is pretty clear that he can't hear the difference. Self-deception indeed.
