I should add, if you check out the threads above you will have to do a little slogging to find the gold. As in any online forum it has to be found amidst the grit and the pyrite. But some posts here are absolutely hilarious, and some brilliantly poetic. Writing like this makes you stretch yourself if you plan to respond, which so far, I often haven't. But quality stuff.
Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon?
Just wondered if anyone in the states ever checked out some of the UK forums?
Some very useful stuff (about 10%)hidden away between juvenille,idiotic and ? shall we say somewhat 'narrow minded' thinking.
"Never in the field of human conflict, has so much s--t been spoken by so few "
I don't generally find them very pleasant places to visit.
it seems to me that Audiogon somehow manages to remain a civilised and predominantly friendly Oasis.
Is this because 'you guys' are more reserved, more polite,more confident? who knows.
We should be offering cups of tea whilst you chaps should be all gung ho - seems to me there has been a role reversal along the line - a visit to Pinkfish can be like a stroll in a/the Ghetto(under privildged neighbourhood?) (Black , white or otherwise), loose your wits for a minute - and you get mugged!

Disclaimer - this is only my opinion, I will retract it if it in any way offends anyone or more to the point I don't want nasty comments, god forbid I should have an opinion.
It's just struck me, would you call a hifi forum Pinkfishmedia - something stinks there.
