Default A serious audio newsgroup wanted

Can those apparently few people who use this Newsgroup just for matters
Audio advise me if there is a "more" appropriate newsgroup for dealing
with Audio queries ao running down the subject matter of "most" of the
posts leads me to believe that this NG is for anything and everything
except serious Audio buffs.
I do hope this post attracts those who are prepared to advise but no doubt
some people will take offence at the tenure of my remarks, I assure you no
offence is intended, I just want some loudspeaker advice but feel from the
subject matter of some of the posts I may be in the wrong place.

You are in the wrong place. This as a big old flame war. Nobody here seems
to care about getting better sound in their home, which I always thought was
the point of recreational high end audio. Go somewhere else, this is not for
you. I say that as a friend. You might get the odd response from some newbie
that has a brain, but most likely you will be flamed to death by the
denizens of rec.audio. It just doesn't seem like the old days of shared
tweaks and familiar hardware. There is so much out there today that there
are few who can make sense of it all. This is not an audio group anymore, if
it was we would see such things as listening comparisons and manufacturer
shootouts.

Here you will see petty morons debating meaningless topics, and this is not
something that is conducive to good listening. All the hubbub about people's
personal lives has no bearing on the actual enjoyment of music. So go
somewhere else, my friend, and have my good wishes to bide your time surfing
the usenet. I am not long for this forum. It is too taxing, it is too
confrontational. Music is a beautiful thing and it has been debased by
infighting and minor personal wars here. This was the place I thought I
belonged some years ago, and it has become such a cesspool of dreck that I
can't even believe I am posting here.

So that's all I have to say. This is all. I'm out. And I'm sure this is good
riddance for some of you. Damn, this could have been something cool, but you
have made it uncool. Hatter, email if you get this. I still want to talk.
