Have you been drinking?

So you changed my "I will be a moderately moderate moderator who will moderates in moderation" to "I will rule these peons with an iron fist"
Doof, I am forwarding all the hate mail I've received so far to you
Griff...
Thanks. Visited Pitt a couple times...neat town. Haven't seen a Steeler game live (would LOVE to, though)
Mach...
My brother...though you have been taken in by the placebo effect of mpc...there is still much hope for you. It is not too late for repentance. Perhaps my story will help give you the guidance you need....
At the time I was really into meditation while listening to music to relieve the pressures of life. I was trying to unload some stress caused by imperfect lossy encoders and the lack of disk space I had to put all my apes on. So I was in a deep meditative state listening to "Pie Jesu" and was thinking of the religious discussion I had earlier in the day. One of the things that were said during the discussion was "accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior". With this thought endlessly looping in my head and the gorgeous tune as background, I had an "out of body" experience. I ended up in what looked to be a swanky 60's style apartment, but the place was fully furnished with the latest electronics. Standing there in front of me was a bearded and 'stached fellow wearing a tye-dyed shirt and funky kaki's. I stood there, looking quite bewildered and lost. I knew who he was (there was an aura of purity that surrounded him), and why I was there. "My son", He asked, "you seem burdened, can I help you find your way?" I said to Him "Jesus, I've had serious doubts on my choice of encoders lately. I chose mpc because of what the other children said were pre-echo problems in other encoders. They always play this song with castanets in it. I grow so weary of it. Jesus...how can I reach the same state of musical nirvana that you have?" Jesus chuckled, "My son, you are one of many that has come before me, all of them longing for a purer sound. I want you to listen to this". Jesus reached over and turned on his PC. He played the coolest song I had ever heard. I had noticed Jesus was pretty hip so I relaxed a bit and started talking to him in a more casual manner, "J, your PC and stereo are boss, you must have a huge hard drive to hold all your lossless files". Jesus replied, "My son, they are lossy files". Somewhat dazed and confused by this, I exclaimed, "No way dude, get out of town! The sound is so crisp and clean, no lossy can encode that well". He didn't answer. He stood there with his eyes closed gently swaying to the music, like he was really getting into it. The music became the focal point....the sound of vorbis was overtaking us. The song ended and we both broke out of our trances. I asked him what format they were in. Jesus replied, "They are in a format called ogg vorbis. I'll send you an E-mail with the link so you can download the encoder and a player my children call MJ". "I'm there, but what about all the others?", I asked, "They just won't listen to reason...I'll be called a heretic...I'm not going to be a martyr for some unknown ...". Jesus touched my forehead, and I became silent. All my anxieties and doubts were washed away. "You must be vigilant and forthright. I want you to join your brothers and sisters in the crusade for vorbis....to enlighten all of my children". I was now ready to join my new family of the vorbis faithful. We said our farewells. However, before returning to my body I asked Jesus about the song he played. Jesus replied "Oh that?...it is what you'd call an oldie from the 80's...Hell is for Children...downloaded it from a p2p network". I became very emotional at this point and blurted out, "I love you man".
