You're probably right that this topic isn't appropriate for
rec.audio.flame or whatever this ng really is. I can
honestly say this is still the silliest ng or discussion
group of any kind on the net. People have been carrying on
the same flames for well over a decade and they just get
lamer and lamer over the years.
Personally I care about audio. What I don't care about is
following the herd mentality that all too often is more
about how much money you can spend rather than how good
something sounds at least on this ng. A few years ago a fad
happened where people bought into the idea that spending
thousand and thousands of dollars on a sound system was a
good idea. I have to admit that there are some very good
sound systems available as a result of this. But they
aren't worth the kind of money they bring to 99.99% of the
people on the planet.
You guys should learn to get along with the world. You
might find it more interesting than the childish flame wars
you perpetuate year after year. Very few people care about
these things like you do and most that do care about audio
couldn't stand sifting through the petty bickering in this
ng for more than 2 minutes at a stretch. You might help
people if you weren't so caught up with your egos.
