Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
There's nothing wrong with posting about an actual true negative experience.What's wrong is when 99% of the other posters spew nonsense and try to pass it off as fact.It's simply gossip.If it goes on long enough it becomes slander.
