I know what it is.  I just don't know why you care so much about the norm.
That is, I don't know why it's so important for people whio live outside the
norm to advertise it all over the place.  And I don't know why people who
live outside the norm think that they're superior because of it.  We all
exist within the norm in some aspect of our lives and we all live outside
the norm in others.  I think that lording your superior grasp of audio
quality is among the more petty subjects about which to feel superior.

here.  Awesome because at the beginning of the thread you were referring to
people like me as the opposite.


Stay in your myopic world and enjoy your shallow life.

Oh, now you're trying to tell me what to do.  NO!  I'm gonna go throw my
Evil Empire iPod out the window and download the ogg vorbis plugin for
Winamp RIGHT NOW.  Pttth.

(forgive me if winamp automatically comes with the ogg vorbis codec.
remember, I'm ape eared.)
