Bret Cahill is a troll, and to maintain a decent S/N ratio on comp.dsp, we need to stop engaging him.

The cool thing is that it has the latest in image processing to ensure that they correctly identify stupidents. I think he is calling them SMART JARTS.

Attempts at reason will be as effective as throwing marshmallows at a turtle. I would add that for anyone who can't resist, Bret's posts will always be cross posted to multiple unrelated groups. Trimming would seem prudent and may even help cut down on at least the cross group noise.

I think he is calling them SMART JARTS.you know, i hadn't really wanted Vlad to exit, just to be a little nicer. and some of the people he picked on maybe deserved it and he never really picked on me (for which i am thankful). i compare Bret Cahill more to someone like the old E.Bob Tisdale. i can't remember who the other bombastic know-nothings were. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
