This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.

Opinions aren't necessarily an "agenda," and, again, regardless of the forum rules I don't see anybody from Goodwin's, Stereo Exchange, or other reputable dealers self-promoting like this guy. Note that Atmasphere will rarely even mention that he designs and markets well regarded products, and often offers valuable information based on his experience. I'm simply one who feels that crass advertisements invade far too much of our online space, and simply hope that business-centric commercial intrusion could stay out of forums that should simply be an exchange of ideas and opinions not tainted by desperate salesmen.

Opinions aren’t necessarily an "agenda," ...

I agree completely. But, for example, when the same poster repeats the same few claims again and again, and insists that those who disagree provide data, and accuses those who disagree with believing in "magic," it’s pretty clear there’s an agenda beneath it all. And it isn't the passionate and objective pursuit of science.

And what would that agenda be? I am honestly puzzled.

I wonder if T+A will be on the agenda next week at Davos?  I'll ask around.
