Dealers hijacking the discussions

Dave:. Please....I'm the third, at least, to ask that you do this.  Before you start typing a reply or post, think about your point in replying.  Then attempt to be concise and succinct...perhaps in maybe three or four sentences.  

Your typical replies are so long and rambling, most of us, like me, likely read the first sentence and skip to the bottom.  Are you the digital version of that guy who likes to hear himself talk?

We are all guilty of this in a way. When somebody opens up a thread asking for opinions on piece ‘a’ or ‘b’, how many times do you have people write in saying that piece ‘c’ Or ‘d’ is better? These replies probably come from non-dealers but they could also come from somebody that will be selling their piece shortly.
Personally I like when people chime in with other alternatives, I have not reviewed or heard every piece of equipment out there and some suggestions that people bring up might peak my interest.
i have seen threads when people make suggestions on alternatives and they get shot down, which to me shows that the person isn’t open minded.
I do agree that dealers or even non-dealers shouldn’t pressure people into something that the don’t want.

Dave, why don’t you stop engaging with gpgr4blu? You post, then he posts, then you go into a ten paragraph response. All that does it stir the pot further until the thread degrades into a name-calling thread between the two of you.

You will contribute a lot more value to the discussion by focusing on the topic at hand, rather than having your public battles, primarily with one poster. It’s silly, it degrades the forum, and it makes you look like a kindergartener.

It's the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
