nobody talks about BAT anymore?

Sean 34 is correct, at least in context of this thread.

However, (there is always a however) some postings are not legitimate questions (praise of magic rocks and the like) and these deserve the ridicule they elicit. Ridicule is a gentle way of saying "you must be nuts".

Of course, to the general public, all audiophiles are nuts.

I sure hope that everyone doesn't agree with everything said on Audiogon. That would be downright boring! We ought to be able to distinguish vigorous debate from insults.
