I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery

Just a quick note.  Things around here on Audiogon have been interesting over the past couple of weeks as I've watched a number of trolls shift the tenor of the discussions.

I wanted to say that I fully support information sharing, doing things ourselves, experimentation and ways to broaden who is among us.

The idea that you are or are not an audiophile based on what you have spent, or what exclusive line of products you have purchased is not one I want to support.  We should find ways to share, not exclude our passion and grow our dwindling numbers.

Building kits and systems with the younger generation is a fantastic way of getting them into STEM as well as into audio, not to mention builds light years worth of knowledge in very little time.  As I've said before, our hobby was built by experimenters, tinkerers and lovers of music much more so than by lovers of spending.

I'll support inclusive, fact based discussions and those who are intellectually curious every time I can.

Agreed @erik_squires 

Genuine thanks to all those who share agenda-less, ego-free info. and advice. I’m a relative newbie here, and more of a lurker/learner than a poster/informer, but have benefitted greatly from some of the knowledge here. 
To the extent anyone cares what one relatively newly minted aspiring audiophile (not sure when the ‘aspiring’ can properly be stricken) thinks, I’ll offer the following: if someone like me can name at least five brand names of various components in connotation with your particular username without glancing at your system details, you’re trying too hard. Just my opinion.
