Arf! Arf! Sorry. A glitch is a glitch is a glitch. A sound arrived at is
a sound arrived at. The sound arrived at, glitchesque or not, is the only
thing contrived. The bottom line is that all this fuss over this stuff is
just a masturbatory mental excercise. Perhaps a reflection of the
sex-lives of a lot a "microsounders." ;^)
