Yeah sure. More like, major headache. What I found, after a bit of random
clicking, was a link to papers on spatial sound. Great. Am I gonna read
them all in the hope that one of them says "Dr. Tom" on it? No Way.

This is silly. I refuse to play games like this. It is exactly this kind of
behaviour that discredits The Tom (tm) and with him 1WSW.

A perfectly sensible request was made: Give references. That WWW page
isn't a reference, it's a mess. So, if you can, Tom, try again: Give
references. If you don't know how to do that, read a book on student
papers, it will tell you all about how to organise your references so as to
impress your professor. It works with peer review as well, believe me.

>I'm not sure what he's talking about.  But, he said you would all

I don't think _he's_ sure what he's talking about. Or maybe he does: It
might well be he knows he's blowing wind. So, since he cannot provide the
information requested due to its aetherial nature, he tries to confuse
instead. Doesn't work, though.

I wish I had some patients to read it all for me. It would certainly slow
their healing process, or make them _seriously_ ill, giving me a nice
source of income ... if I was a doctor, that is.

I have no desire to review it all. I will review references, if and when
they are given in the manner that is commonly accepted for references.
