Must be very satisfying for the sad fuck who started this thread to see his

Is that your pathetic way of admitting you are wrong then?
(in my opinion there will also be a finite number of angels on the head of a
pin, if any :-)

I cannot speak for the OP's level of satisfaction. Perhaps you can
explain why it is that you feel the OP is responsible for Don Bowey's
name calling.

No. It's my pathetic way of saying it's utterly ridiculous to discuss the
original question of a 1940s technolgy in terms of quantum mechanics even if
I were to think you were up to it.
Go back to rec.audio.monstercables and pick on someone of your own
inclinations.

I'm sure he didn't say that; it is, again, you attempting to put a twist to
the thread so you can put your sizable ego and sophomoric psychology to
work.
I wonder why you used vulgar language to describe the OP, Green, who did
nothing wrong except post where you might see it and ply your hobby. You
lose.

I agree that geoff didn't say that explicitly, but he did seem to understand
that the reason I said you lost the debate was your name calling but he was
more definate concerning the OP finding that name calling satisfying. Get it?

The only twist to this thread that I have attempted is in pointing out how
very childish it is bash those who you feel are trolls.

I gave up reacting to ad hominem attacks a very long time ago.

Honestly, sophomoric is plenty sufficient int this case!

Oh? I'm wondering WHEN I used vulgar language to describe the OP!

I don't feel that I have lost but you go on thinking that if it makes you
feel better about yourself.

What makes you think that an audio cassette doesn't do sampling?
During recording there's the finite width of the gap in the record
head under which the tape travels and then there's the granularity of
the magnetic particles in the tape which get magnetized as they travel
across the gap, so the sample time is how long it takes for any
particle to traverse the gap and the amplitude of the magnetic field
is what's left as they exit the gap.

Some large Polynesian mussel shells supposedly do that. When you hold
them to your ear you hear the sounds of the sea.

As a SW manager once put it that way: "All you analog dudes think the
real world is analog but since Max Planck it ain't so no more".

Or the sound of your blood flow being acoustically amplified and reflected
back to your ear, at least.
Try it with a microphone in an anechoic chamber and let us know how you get
on :-)
(and yes, I realise you were being sarcastic, just as I am)

I'm sure the ambient noise swamps the sound of your blood by a few orders
of magnitude. ;-)

The sound of your heartbeat can seem deafening if you spend
much time in a good anechoic chamber. I tried it in ElectroVoice's
chamber in Buchannan many years ago.

Similar to GWB being sure Iraq had nuclear weapons capability no doubt :-)
You actually believe a sea shell stores sounds? Why only sea sounds then
after it has been far removed for years?
I think at least Joerg was joking... surely?

Yep, and I can hear my blood pulsing in an isolation booth, doesn't even
require a good anechoic chamber.
Of course it's the blood flow in your head you hear, not your "heartbeat".
