One should be educated about forums that mostly promote the manufacturers on those forums. Audiocircle is one that comes to mind. Sharing good and bad experiences on a forum can be a constructive tool but only if done in a reasonable, logical and rational manner. In those cases, we can benefit and decide what the problem really is. On Audiocircle the moderators are often the owners of the small boutique audio companies. The want fanboys who talk great things about their gear because it helps sell that gear, but they shut down real negative experiences. I like audiogon and put up with the arrogant posters, because some really good information comes through from the other guys/gals..
