[Boatanchors] materials new to me

[rbethman]

Clive, old friend, I'm afraid that this is HIGHLY suspect, and written 
to portray these "same old" resistors to the Audiophool crowd.

There is a "cult" of those whom market and then those that "swallow" the 
ideas such as "oxygen free" copper speaker wire.  Thereby extracting the 
$$$ from the cult followers.

What I "see" in the photograph looks like everyday old carbon 
composition resistors that most of us must check by measuring to ensure 
that they "may" be within the tolerance that they are supposed to be.  
That "pile" of Bovine Scatology looks like my bench trash can after 
going through a couple of old boatanchors!
