:still, i feel a little bit akward about what happened with the mail
:on reaktor windows vs mac. 
:
:i know my fellow colleague (--@dp, we write from the same address
:but we're two and we sign differently) was only curious to know
:if other people had encountered the same sort of problems. 
:
:it was really weird to read such a hasty response. 

i didn't mean to single that poster out.  it wasn't personal nor 
was i offended by that topic in particular.  as you detail quite 
nicely, it was another in a long string of similar topics that do 
little save bury the signal under noise (increasing white rather 
than pink noise at that.)

i've been off and on this list for years now and i always return 
because when the list is going well, it is quite interesting.  
however like many list i've been on, it seems to increasing stray as 
time goes by.  

if the tech topics are relevant or put within a microsound context, 
than i am all for them.  i would be happy to discuss the EPS/ASR OS 
bug and its influence on early glitch creators or even the merits 
and differences of ampex vs emi reels and their role in decay 
theory.

how to bring it back to topic?  moderators is always an option.  
10 years ago, i would have opposed that idea and likely written 
1000 word defense on the merits of the marketplace for ideas that 
mailing list foster and the noise being a worthwhile inconveniences 
weighed against the greater benefits from the freer flow of ideas.  
but alas, i am getting old and i seem to have little patiences for 
the same threads i've been reading these many years.

:o. k. it's not a ms topic, but hey, I've been reading for a whole month
:about: 
:
:.mac osX vs mac os9
:.people going on holiday asking for cool stuff to find on site
:.plugins and presets not being recalled on shareware versions of softwares
:.midi controllers, asio drivers, buffers glitching
:.mapping light frequencies on sounds
:.max msp for windows XP 
:
:and many other things where i really find it hard to see any
:philosophy of art, nor any aesthetics. 
:
:actually it's all very tech stuff, or am i wrong?
:(apart from the holiday ones...) 
:
:(and i'm talking about hundreds and hundreds of mails, not just a few) 
:
:in a way however, some people seem to get offended if someone
:finds out that something works better on some platforms rather than
:on others. how can that touch someone personally, really
:it defys my reasoning.
