Please let me know what you all think.
RAHE used to be a great and active resource. I personally had RAHE
business cards and would fly to the Stereophile Show each year, wherever
it happened to be, to talk about the shows and what I heard in this
newsgroup. I had the pleasure of meeting the then moderator (prior to
David's long tenure) at one of the shows.
Then the newsgroup got *stridently* usurped by those of the opinion "if
I can't measure it, it must not exist and you can't possibly be hearing
any differences", aka "tin-eared objectivists". This would probably be
the late 90s.
The newsgroup never recovered.
Having it unmoderated would presumably change it into a spam heaven, as
with most other similarly uncontrolled newsgroups.
I'll sadly opine that euthanasia is probably the appropriate decision.
