[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 19040"] I've been waiting to see whether somebody else would get an oar into the water on this -- monologues do tend to get tedious. But since (apparently) not, about as much as projection is involved in everything that has to do with pipes, whether we will or no. The virtual certainty that a Stanwell is a better pipe than a "Made in Denmark," for an example. (The case I'm thinking of was actually Made in Denmark BY Stanwell). Or that an old Caminetto is, because it's an"original," a better pipe than one from Ascorti's son's resurrection of the marque. We project what we imagine into the picture -- as we do with politics. We weave a world out of associative impressions, add enthusiasm, and move in. As far as we're concerned, the projection encapsulates the reality. What the heck -- it works for choosing a career and a wife. Why not a pipe ? Is there anything we do that projection[b] isn't[/b] involved in ? :face: [/QUOTE]
