If you don't enjoy the thread, why are you posting to it? Move on man, nothing to see here but us braggards and snobs.......the very same ones posting everywhere else on this forum. What the heck is wrong with folks sharing some aspect of the rest of their lives and what they care about outside of audio. It is an off-topic thread, much like many here that have been very popular. It serves to get a more complete picture of many of the folks you are reading posts from. I think your criticism is rather harsh, and even jaded. The proverbial pot calling the kettle black. But you are partially correct: with few exceptions everyone elses IS bigger than yours! 8- )
