Bret:
I finally realized what the source of the friction is between you and the
rest of us here:
You, in your inexperience and lack of training, are infinitely better
than all of us combined, even though many of us do DSP for a living.
As painful as this may sound to you, there is clearly only one answer:
Get the hell off the group, and go be a @#$% genius by yourself. True,
you'll be lonely. But, you won't have us dragging you down.
So -- get along.
