And thats where my run-ins with Warp usually occur. I say something 
misguided about programming and he jumps in. That's just Warp.

Darren? Really?

FWIW, I've seen Darren and Warp really have it out over C# of all 
things. But yes, they both know their stuff. That doesn't mean you're 
actually an idiot, though.

What made them think you're a troll?

Right. I've been smacked in the head enough on here to know to be every 
careful when I post on programming topics. I'm out of my depth with some 
of folks on here, and I know that.

To change the subject (sort of):

BTW, I think I'm procrastinating on the filter stuff.. Right now I'm 
trying to get properly feeding a circular sound buffer data so I can try 
listening in realtime.

You seem to have quite an understanding of mathematics, though, which 
says a lot. You know and understand things that would make a layperson 
take one look and go curl up in a corner.
