I have largely stopped reading the forums for many of the reasons people have noted. I happened on to this one from Audiogon's weekly feed. I will however ask a question about audio every now and then if I do not know the answer and often get excellent responses.
What I find annoying about the forums is that many posters promote the equipment they own over and over again simply because they own it and enjoy it. There are some posters who do this for years on end. This is often accompanied by deriding another brand. Magico is great and Vandersteen stinks!! Then the inevitable reply: Vandersteen is great and Magico stinks!!
It is so boring. If you are that insecure that you have to deride the choices of others to feel good about yourself, then stay off the keyboard. There really isn't this kind of debate in enthusiast automobile sites. People can seem to agree that Porsches and Benzes are both good.
