Why do you give bad advice?


Now I'm not talking about different opinions or an honest mistake, but a response that is clearly bad advice. Here's just one example.

Poster states that due to living in a small town and no larger town in a reasonable driving distance, he has no way to audition, so he's looking for helpful advice in considering an upgrade.

Then I see responses like, listen to as many as you can before deciding, take whatever to your local dealer to see how well they match, or find a good brick and mortar dealer to audition.

I see this happening more, so maybe it's just a sign of the times that many don't take the time to read the entire post and only respond to the title.

OK, that's my little rant for the day.

Say what??? My limited experience with AG has been the recent thread "Are audiophiles still out of their minds?" Suffice it to say I am packing my bags to look for a better home. Life is too short for that kind of nonsense.

Was someone forcing you to read that thread and not allowing you to read another?
That kind of comment is exactly what I was talking about. (Sorry for the thread interruption.)
