To Mr. Nelson Pass

[lumanauw]

So we have look at some of the guys who thinks about audio 24hr/day. We should have more respect for them. Imagine who is answering your thread.

Anyone with picture of Robert Zeff?

Mr Pass has wrote (and alot of them), Mr Borbely has, I really waits for Mr John Curl to write some article. About single device, about a circuit or anything.

Ha, me too. I actually have it ripped to my hard disk. The ending is always very touching.

This thread has once again made me make an interesting obsevation
that I have made many many times before, especially within my
own profession. There is a lot of people one knows of, have read
articles by, heard of, maybe even discussed with via email or a
forum, but whom one have never met or seen on a photo. Although
there is no reason whatsoever to make any assumptions about
what that person looks like, one subconciously makes up somek
lind of fuzzy image of the person. Not a detailed image so one
could really describe what the person looks like, but anyway some
kind of image, based on absolutely nothing sensible. Then, when
eventually meeting the person or seeing a photo one often
gets surprised, finding that although not having had any particular
expectation what the person would look like, at least one know
this was not what one had expected. Not that there is usually
anything wrong with how the person actually looks, it is just that
it doesn't fit the mental image, however vague and fuzzy that one
was. Am I the only one having such experiences??

Why do your posts make me and probably other people think just that little bit further than we would have without them?
I guess we all look like what life molded us. On a forum, we only have the words, the attitude, the way people react… to form ourselves a picture of what someone might look like.
I think we are heavily referring to people we know in real life, with similar attitudes, ways of thinking. People with great influence throughout history are examples too. The picture of Jesus Christ is one of them. Although I don’t believe in the person himself, but rather in the ‘good’ things in all of us, there’s no doubt we all have a rather similar picture of Jesus in mind. The beard, the eyes, the clothing…an image created by history and media.
Why does Tina Turner sings like she looks?
Why does Kofi Annan talks smoothly and gentle just the way he looks?
Why do people have strange assumptions with eyes standing too close to each other?
No need to give an example here.
Why does John Curl reassembles Randy Newman? Because of his humor? Could be but probably not.
Why is Christer always observing

Thanks for the nice words Hugo. Although I often do post things
with a hope of making some people think a little bit deeper about
something and also appreciate others posting things that make
me think a little bit deeper, I actually had no such intention in
this case. If my post had that side-effect for some, well then that
is a good thing.

Sometimes yes, in other cases I think it is not even based on
much substantial at all. I suppose it might be that our brain needs
to have some kind of face on people we haven't seen
so it makes one up for us just to please itself.

Why does John Curl reassembles Randy Newman?

Actually, in this case it was the photo of John that surprised me.
No, there is nothing wrong at all with what he looks like, it was
just so different from what I had envisioned, however vague that
image was. It might have been the same with Nelson and Erno
Borbely if I hadn't already seen photos of them previously.

Why is Christer always observing

Well, sometimes maybe. I guess to some extent it is to blame on
my occupation, but mostly it is probably just the way I am, can't
help it.

Actually one of the funniest experiences of this kind I've had was
when I was a rather fresh PhD student and had read a number
of seemingly very insightful articles by a well-known american
researcher, let's call him X. I had, for whatever reason, made up
an image of him as an elderly grey-haired professor with glasses,
wearing a brown or grey suit and a necktie. When I attended
my first scientific conference it happened that a person entered
the room in the middle of a session (that's not uncommon). He
looked very young, although he probably was quite a bit older,
dressed in T-shirt and shorts, wearing Rayban sunglasses indoors
and I wouldn't have been the least surprised if he had carried a
surfboard under his arm. I wondered, whoever is this strange guy?
It turned out to be X.
I later got to know him rather well over the years and he is quite
a nice and intelligent guy, but my first encounter with him was
somewhat of a shock. Of course, I still hadn't quite learnt about
the (absence of) dresscode in computer science at that time.
