[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 4779308, member: 957"] Settings that greatly exceed the limitations you described in the post I first replied to. Noted. So what? I repeat the question, do you accept that I achieve it? Or even, do you accept that I just *might* be achieving it? Your prior statements were rather definitive that any claim of success must be "the twin devils pretentiousness and preposterous-ness". Now you have back down to "hard to avoid". Fine, it is hard to avoid. At least for some people. Is it possible that your experience is inadequate to make this judgment for everyone everywhere? Or do you claim absolute knowledge here? (Please recall your recent accusation of self-delusion when answering) No, I don't. I don' because I made no such accusation. I simply pointed out that you yourself said so. And just to be clear, you have changed the phrasing here. You said: I replied that I was sorry you had never experienced better. I AM sorry that you have never experienced better. You may very well have still experienced "quality". "Quality" is different than what I said. But either you lied in the quote or there is better out there and you have had the misfortune of never experiencing it. I'm not accusing you of lying. I'm honestly sorry you have never experienced better than that what you describe. I have experienced better. Much better. And no amount of accusation of self-deception or pretentiousness has any bearing on the truth of that. And as long as your assessment is tied to the presumption that no one else has ever achieved or experienced anything that you yourself have not achieved or experienced, then your assessment will be fatally flawed.
