Are you suggesting that

I'm afraid I can't speak for them but, if I thought it was
warranted, I would.


Really? So how many non-family members have you called "a cretin" or
"a moron" in a non-joking manner?

None, because I've never met anybody who warranted it, I try to avoid
confrontation and I'm fairly easy going.

...you're the most likely to be polite face-to-face if someone does
something that annoys you
you're less likely to be polite on the phone if someone does
something that annoys you
you're even less likely to be polite in text communication if someone
does something that annoys you

It's just the way it is.

...for you.

Thank you, that was very illuminating.


Before we leave this topic, you don't have to swear or be aggressive to
be rude or obnoxious. A good example of this is Richard L on
alt.radio.digital, because he would never swear or be outwardly
aggressive, but some of his posts can be extremely vindictive and
insulting. And from memory I don't think you're immune to this kind of
behaviour either. What is the difference between a snide remark and
being openly rude? Not a great deal, when you look at it.

If you only think it then I wasn't.

If I was you'd be quite certain.

Don't tell me what I'm thinking. You see, you lecture me about being
rude, and then you're rude.

Okay, I'll change it: My view of you is that you are pretty laid back,
you don't swear or become aggressive, but you DEFINITELY post snidey
comments in an attempt to be clever. A frequent problem with your posts
are that when you try to be snidey or clever you get your facts wrong,
because you lack understanding or you lack knowledge in a certain area.
Probably the main problem with you ex- or current-broadcasting engineers
or technicians is that you don't like to be told about broadcasting
systems by someone you perceive as a jumped up student with no practical
experience. The truth is that I understand all these digital
broadcasting systems far better than any one of the regulars on the
uk.tech.broadcast newsgroup, and you just don't like that, do you? Deal
with it.

Of course you do. Why wouldn't you? You have The Three Degrees, and
to top it off you've Read Loads Of Papers. And you Write for a Hi Fi
Magazine. Of course you'd know more than people who can actually get
a job where someone'll pay them to work in the field they supposedly
know so much about.

There you go again, denying what you want to do. You can't admit that
you were wrong originally -- a very bad trait, IMO. You're flitting
between comparing reception quality and audio quality as it suits
you. Get a grip.


[snip]

sigh Having read the above, and some of the other postings by Steve
since in this thread, I think I will have to conclude that it would
be a waste of effort for me to try again to explain this to him.


More patronising.


However, if anyone other than Steve hasn't understood clearly what
I have been trying to explain, please say, and I will have another
go.


Yawn.


My regrets are that an attempt to find info on the topics I
was asking about have been submerged by Steve's reactions.


Really? Hey, good luck finding DAB-related info from the DAB experts:
Dave "the rave" Plowman, &&&&Jerry&&&& and Nobrain Here.


Steve: you are clearly able to use whatever 'tone' you like in your
postings.


Absolutely.


By the same token, others can decide it isn't worth talking to you
if you respond as exampled above.


Absolutely.

Ta-ra, then.

Just a quick clarification and then I'll leave you in peace and
apologies to others who may be unfortunate enough to be following this
sub-thread.

The only occasion on which I'm aware that I've posted inaccurate
information was in my response to your assertion on 30th June
(news:uk.tech.broadcast) that the BBC was inept. In that response,
when describing the Sound in Sync system, I said that the coded audio
digits were inserted in the back porch of the video line synchronising
pulses. I later queried that myself and others confirmed that I was
wrong and that the coded audio was, in fact, inserted into the sync
pulses themselves.

You thanked me for the information contained in that post.

Again, apologies to others, and if I've posted any other
misinformation I'm still waiting to hear about it.

HTH

I'm not saying you've been dishonest, or that the mistakes were exactly
life-changing, but you have, over time, made small errors. I can't
remember any of them specifically, because my brain isn't a search
engine like Google, but my impression is that you do make small errors.

HTH.
