This group is awesome!
I've been a lurker on various audio forums for several years.
Having just discovered this group, I have to say that I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. It is probably the most active newsgroup I've ever seen, with obviously many audio enthusiasts posting regularly, and yet it seems that only about 5% of the posts themselves are actually about audio! For the past 2 or 3 days I've found it surprisingly diverting. The thread on turntables is possibly the exception in that it has appeared to have a *moderately* normal amount of discussion mixed in with the fighting. Other threads have seem to rarely have anything to do with the original post, almost immediately. It may be the most fundamentally disfunctional newsgroup I've ever seen. And I'm hard-pressed to point to any one person at fault... it's like a sort of "reverse groupthink". Anyhow, I've never seen fit to post something like this before. Just thought I'd share an observation from a perspective of outsider- looking-in. Perhaps in a couple of days I'll tire of it and who knows, maybe I'll be inspired enough to post a sort of "so long and thanks for all the fish" message. But for now, I'm intrigued enough that I just had to share. I'm also a wee bit tempted to say something like: "what d'yall think of Bose?" just to see what happens. Scott |

Why don't you sit your naked smiling one on a copy machine and run a copy like the girls at the office do. Then we'll know. I have a feeling you were born on a copier... Cheers! Margaret |
