Is Audiogon any different in this regard than other fields of inquiry? -- lots of repetition, a good bit of relatively minor insight and innovation, and the occasional striking insight and innovation.
If this is a fair description of what goes on here, it is also a fair description of what goes on in every academic field I am familiar with. And to judge, for example, by automotive design, it is true of much in industry too.
IMHO, people should definitely be encouraged to search, and politely directed to relevant threads, but people should also save themselves from what they regard as tedium by reading selectively, just as they would do in other areas.
Good luck with your stuff at home, Chadnliz.
