I guess we better also shut down nasa, all those universities, formula one, and the noble prize, etc as the prusuit of excellence is eltitist

Many people in NASA, and various high-level research facilities ARE elitist. I work with them. That's how they got there, and that's how they produce their high quality of work - they are better than us and they know it . If their elitism through their pursuit of excellence allows them to cure cancer / saves newborns' lives with BMT's & CBT's / discover how many atoms of Argon are on Neptune / and make those really cool (but way overpriced) writing-upside-down pens - then so be it. At least they are providing something more constructive back into the world than a nice sounding car that will be superseeded in 3,2,1....

I'm not trying to be rude, (though it obviously appears thats way :S), I just believe that if you produce a comment like that it should at least make sense. As I have already explained to you, the pursuit of excellence does not equal elitism, however elitism is human nature and its prevalence increases in proportion to competition (remember the guy from woolworths I mentioned? ).

If I wasn't semi-religious I'd say "God this is a stupid discussion"... but it's not like I have anything better to do haha.

Cheers,

Nick.

I believe Cyberpunky's answer to Joger's question is the most relevant in this thread.

I had to jump on. Hate typing but im going to dito Cyberpunky's answer ! thanks for typing it for me! Just remember not to make your system so clinical ! As far as 6*9's go and get an cassete player while your at it. As far as listening to poor cd recordings if you have the power it'll be no problem.

Lol well my second post is not quite relevant to the original topic. It was just a reply to a irrelevant and incorrect post. Anyway, no harm done.
