I'd give a strong pat on the back to the guy who made the Clerks reference.

Ha ha hahoheeeeevwnflqwlalba, Roivas, I just love the stupid things you write ...

"Don't like Chailly's Varese. Tho' it's awfully convenient to buy his "complete Varese" CDs, but I've heard a lot of great stuff on vinyl that I'd choose over his interps" ... oh, really? So which interpretations are better than Chailly's? Yeah, right. I notice that you don't actually say. And, dum-dum, there is only enough material to fill 2 discs; hence the "Complete Works" 2CD version ... and before you start going "blah blah blah" - no, the works on this version were not all recorded at the same time. Anything else?

"With Mahler, I don't think there's a definitive recording of any of his symphonies. Some, like Bruno Walter's 5th, you could say are more historically important" ... ha ha ha ha ha ... "more historically important" ... snarf ... and here I was thinking that what matters is how they SOUND ... oh well, silly me. And do I even own Mahler's 5th? No, I don't. I have the 6th ... say it with me ... S-I-X-T-H ... and the 9th ... N-I-N-T-H ... what's the matter? ... can't count? So which are the best versions, then? Oh, thats right. Yet again, you didn't say

"I've become very hesitant to make such distinctions" ... sooooo you don't make any dinstinctions at all and either keep every existing interpretation in your collection, or not a single one. Plus, I suppose, it's some sort of excuse as to why you can't actually tell me which versions I SHOULD own. Have you even heard these symphonies? What are you going to do now? Are you going to check Amazon to see which are the most popular versions, and then post them in your response? Don't make me laugh

"People with very little knowledge are usually quite defensive" ... no, people with very little knowledge usually don't back up their claims with any actual evidence

I'm going to clarify this, once and for all: I did not post my music collection because I was "fishing around for compliments" and I can take constuctive criticism when it's justified (just see my second post). Why would I want your compliments? I'm an effing recluse. I posted the list to give something back; to leave a few pointers on the world wide web. Do you have any idea what altruism is? Conquer your egoism. Better yourselves. My first few posts were completely respectful ("Satchmo8101 ... Don't take offence; I don't mean anything personally" is one example) but your reactions have been quite typical, to say the least. Most of you have chosen the dog-pack mentality of the "masses of asses" and I didn't put you there, you did that yourselves, so don't start whining that I think I'm so much better than you. It's probably the opposite. It's probably your insecurities that make you act the way you do. You're just WAITING to pounce on someone ... panbient wrote something about a computer game and Satchmo8101 just couldn't wait to belittle him. You're like chickens, or seagulls. Heal yourselves.

For those of you who keep leaving quotations ...

"You are not paid off to be quiet about what you know; you are paid not to find it out" - William S. Burroughs

"Tell people something they know already and they will thank you for it. Tell them something new and they will hate you for it" - George Monbiot

"Man fools himself, proves to himself the obvious, puffs himself up with the pleasure of reiterating those proofs, and can live in no other way" - Arthur Rimbaud

"Man is something that must be overcome" - Friedrich Nietzsche

"We're a virus with shoes" - Bill Hicks

"A hypothetical extraterrestrial observer might well conclude that humans have demonstrated that capacity throughout their history, dramatically in the past few hundred years, with an assault on the environment that sustains life, on the diversity of more complex organisms, and with cold and calculated savagery, on each other as well" - Noam Chomsky

"Pity this busy monster, manunkind" - E. E. Cummings

"It is this Vacuum that makes possible that daily hell kept going to decimate the scapegoat inhabitants of the earth, inspiring nothing but apathy and further pollution, revolving on the sexual hydra - at one pole - and fed through the swine mongering mobs at the other pole, in order to do away with the memory of what WAS or MIGHT BE - and as I opened to IT I saw its Body that is a vast machinery, in perpetual motion, for the sole consumption of a certain kind of etherealized excrement transmuted out of the bestial layers of the human condition become entirely the cretinized image of God with whom, be it added, this machine copulates perpetually" - Philip Lamantia

"The view that the modern world is absurd is no longer limited to the philosophical or literary avant-garde" - René Dubos

"Snarf snarf" - Snarf

You get funnier with each of your "last" posts.

not the 5th yep, you guessed right, it's cheesy 6th and 9th !!! can you read?
goodbye goodbye goodbye

Yes. Can you?

Goodbye, 'till your next, last post.

Have fun with your angry little box of CDs.

while it's nice that you took up my cause the PPC comment isn't the reason i'm not posting in this thread anymore. i've been here longer than anyone else besides haakon (the administrator). the PPC comment doesn't phase me, it's more of a running joke between satchmo and the gamers on the forum.

besides the PPC (particle projection cannon) is freaking badass in any mechwarrior game

one thing i've noticed over the years i've been here is that regular members are usually more receptive to these types of threads if the intentions are stated first and the original poster participates in other discussions throughout the forum. one thread wonders generally don't amount to much in the long run.

Nic is like Jim's more volatile alter-ego. they're both delusional recluses. makes for good entertainment 'round here, though.
