I'm sure there are a large number of experienced members who seldom post now because of all the vitriol spewed around. It never used to be like this , I remember avidly reading new posts of interest and looking forward to the next Thursday's Weekly recap. Not so much anymore.
When the internet was young people's communication was a lot more civilised than today where the assimilation of a familiar anonymity behind a computer keyboard provides a shield from a well deserved punch in the mouth.
I can not comprehend why the Audiogon mods don't weed out the worst offenders who post here not to help and advise but to get kicks out of destroying, insulting and being as rude as possible. You guys know who you are and should be ashamed. It's telling that non of the obnoxious members have posted on this very thread. If they can't shout snake oil or scam or whatever they are powerless.
There are also the arrogant and unappreciative lot who after you have taken the time to provide info pertinent to their question do not even bother to reply to you, not even a 'that's interesting' if they disagree or think you've lost your mind.
@OP, to address your post, hifi priorities will drift around but the vastly underestimated room treatment will remain top for me.
