Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Just like those driving a Porsche SUV can join PCA (digital audio fans can join Audiogon) but are certainly not Porschephiles unless they also own a coupe (Panamera owners I guess gets a pass here).

Please respond with a yes or no and we'll tally a vote for the first 100 responses.

HI,
Badges do not entitle somebody to belong in a certain society.
You must know how to drive and enjoy it at the same time. I always take the longer road with my Giulietta just for the fun of it even if burning more fuel.
People may have huge collection of cds, cassettes or downloads have given up turntables and r2r for their own reasons and yes have soldering irons are good at mods and understand the difference of a good power chord.
They have less components, so what?
They still attend at shows, read, listen, play around with what they have and can exchange ideas and experiences. 
Levelling audiophiles is more logical as knowledge does not come cheap. But that is still a discrimination.
