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.

Oh.. SNAP!
I keep repeating same thing to myself:

 “I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive..."

...wish George would still be around us indeed!

Most people here give advise based on their experiences and some just like to chime in for the kicks :-)

Now if you live in the middle of nowhere, I suggest try to attend audio shows. One can learn a lot over the course of 2-3 days from these shows and you also meet great people.

+1 for mitchchavis, what do you find 'bad' about our replies to the OP?

What would you propose to be 'good advice'?
And, why didn't you provide it?

People sometimes don't fully consider the situation and personality of the others. They advise what they would do.
