      - Were his statements based upon controlled DBTs? nt - bjh 17:37:34 12/14/06 ( 57)
        
        Silly question: I quoted Stan Ricker and he said nothing about DBTs. - Pat D 06:51:57 12/22/06 ( 2)
        
        Pat-D-cake you're back!, almost 2 weeks later ... man those - bjh 11:52:17 12/22/06 ( 1)
        
        Strangely enough, I do not seek out your every post. (nt) - Pat D 03:47:17 12/24/06 ( 0)
        
        That's funny because - E-Stat 18:50:59 12/14/06 ( 53)
        
        Sure DBTs would have been better, but Ricker's and your sighted comparisons of the Soundstream recorder differed. - Pat D 20:32:26 12/14/06 ( 51)
        
        So you accept stan Ricker's observations at face value - Analog Scott 21:23:43 12/18/06 ( 28)
        
        Did I say that? - Pat D 23:02:55 12/19/06 ( 27)
        
        Re: Did I say that you said that or did I ask you a question? - Analog Scott 23:15:43 12/19/06 ( 26)
        
        Analog Scott thinks the null hypothesis can be proved! - Pat D 01:59:03 12/20/06 ( 25)
        
        I see, you were just looking for any excuse not to answer a simple question - Analog Scott 08:06:51 12/20/06 ( 24)
        
        Well, you can't understand the issues until you grasp that the null hypothesis cannot be proven statistically. (nt) - Pat D 15:26:07 12/20/06 ( 23)
        
        Nope, you were clearly looking for any excuse not to answer the questions becuase - Analog Scott 20:31:45 12/20/06 ( 22)
        
        Analog scott said the null hypothesis can be proven to a 95% level of certainty. Now he refuses to explain how. - Pat D 06:45:51 12/21/06 ( 21)
        
        Sadly Pat D is now making things up me to deflect attention from the fact that he won't answer the questions - Analog Scott 22:51:51 12/21/06 ( 20)
        
        Didn't your Mommy teach you to tell the truth? I answered your question here. - Pat D 06:22:39 12/22/06 ( 19)
        
        Ironic that you would question my honesty and then tell a flat out lie all in the subject line. - Analog Scott 15:12:07 12/22/06 ( 18)
        
        You just didn't like the answer I gave. Link provided, BTW. - Pat D 15:29:16 12/22/06 ( 17)
        
        baeutiful. A link to no naswer given to my question. Nice. thank you for proving me right - Analog Scott 15:56:14 12/22/06 ( 16)
        
        Nothing there, folks. Move along. (nt) - Pat D 16:11:25 12/22/06 ( 15)
        
        embarrassed? nt - Analog Scott 17:11:41 12/22/06 ( 14)
        
        Just trying to save you some embarrassment. Move along folks, nothing there. (nt) - Pat D 17:33:36 12/22/06 ( 13)
        
        Do you ever tell the truth? Seems to me you were doing everything you could to try to embarrass me - Analog Scott 17:36:07 12/22/06 ( 12)
        
        No, I figured you were embarrassed enough. Have you figured out that one cannot prove two things to be the same yet? - Pat D 05:43:32 12/23/06 ( 11)
        
        Have you figured out that no one is buying your story? - Analog Scott 09:05:59 12/23/06 ( 10)
        
        I doubt you would admit to buying anything of mine. - Pat D 10:23:34 12/23/06 ( 9)
        
        You seem confused. do you know the difference between me and anybody?. - Analog Scott 11:05:50 12/23/06 ( 8)
        
        And ad hominem seems to be the entire substance of your arguments. - Pat D 14:03:19 12/23/06 ( 7)
        
        I'd say ad hominem seems to be the entire substance of your arguments. - Analog Scott 17:03:50 12/23/06 ( 6)
        
        Could you tell me about proving the null hypothesis. (nt) - Pat D 18:07:19 12/23/06 ( 5)
        
        Thank you for proving "ad hominem seems to be the entire substance of your arguments. " - Analog Scott 18:16:14 12/23/06 ( 4)
        
        No, the null hypothesis is substantive issue, and you refuse to tell us why you disagree with the statisticians. - Pat D 18:43:54 12/23/06 ( 3)
        
        No, the only issue is the fact that an honest answer from you would expose that old objectivist double standard - Analog Scott 09:02:22 12/24/06 ( 2)
        
        A side issue irrelevant to audio. Now, understanding the null hypothesis is important for understanding audio DBTs. - Pat D 20:08:45 12/24/06 ( 1)
        
        thank you for proving me right, again. - Analog Scott 09:37:12 12/25/06 ( 0)
