you need to let go of some of that anger, killer. that must be a hard way to live. I totally agree with you about your point above..too many new guys asking silly questions.

It's so obviously sour grapes and chip-on-the-shoulder. If it wasn't, there would be no tie-in. Why is it: "let's get rid of the High End forum and replace it with..." ???

no sour grapes, Joe. I just think a shake-up/better organization would be more beneficial to everyone. The vague categorizations and hacks mixed in amongst the "in the knows" (on the basis that they own the same stuff) *does* taint the quality of the output, destroys the credibility of the advice..and yeah, it is free, but cmon... there is always room for an improvement..and there is nothing wrong with a forum critique. I am not alone in my thoughts. I know that beyond any shred of doubt. I think that a forum admin would do well to listen to his "congregation"..

There is nothing wrong with the HEF that a more vigorous removal of low-end threads wouldn't fix.

that a more vigorous removal of *dumb* threads wouldnt fix.. the problem posts often have *expensive* gear as part of the scenario....
