Long-time participants in comp.dsp did ask questions that led to exchanges of information until the fire fights started. In open newgroups people often fight fires where they find them. Some people think that casual use of technical language is a fire, some people think that trolling sock-puppets are fires. A moderator could have removed an offending reference to a 7 year old conference presentation that contained casual use of technical language. A moderator could have removed off topic posts from a trolling sock-puppet, but comp.dsp has no moderator. If you really care about a question you can always start a new thread with the question indicated in the title. And you can always make snide remarks in side threads, that's another advantage of unmoderated newsgroups. Have Fun! Dale B. Dalrymple

I just can't see the discussion leading anywhere. Engineers have one way of looking at things, matematicians have another. I think it has been established that the continuos case is a Sinc, the discrete case is a Digital Sinc. The DFT of a real signal is yet another thing. To some people the difference is significant, to others it's insignificant. Michael

Did I miss > something ?you must have. i've been in a periodic fight regarding the inherent periodicity of the Discrete Fourier Transform. (and i have been sorta accurately labeled a Nazi regarding it. i'm more of a fundamentalist zealot; those who deny the inherent periodicity of the DFT should be burned to the stake as heretics. there can be only one true gospel of the FFT here.) there was a guy named zxform, there was E. Robert Tisdale, there was our late friend Vlad, who hosted the 2nd comp.dsp conference. and there have been a few trolls. and i s'pose i am not the most pacifist on USENET, despite my religious tradition. r b-j
