Just for the record, and so casual WBF viewers are not misinformed, I do not censor anybody. I am not involved in moderation.

(I do have a hair trigger on the "Report" button if any post has the slightest whiff of politics.)
Or naked girls ! :rolleyes:

No politics. Your hair trigger would certainly be pulled, and the report button quickly buzzed. That’s all fine and I get that which is why I’m not sharing Romy’s nickname here. Cat is just a furry little animal.

Recordings and stereos indeed have intentionality…are they not made by humans with specific goals for recording and replaying what was originally performed? They can deliberately affect what most people will perceive…it’s not effects happen…they are engineered to deliver those effects.

They are inanimate objects with no goals of their own.
 
Tim, I agree with your first sentence. Could you expand on what you mean by the second one? Do you mean they are simply inanimate objects with no volition?

Yes, exactly. Whatever happens as a result of a component or system's use is a result of the user's response. Here I'm thinking largely of pyscho-acoustic phenomena.
