Please Make Audiogon Cool

     Speaking of cool, I understand most of you are curious about just how Cool I actually am. Completely understandable but it's difficult for me to elaborate on this since it's just my constant condition.  
     Truth is I don't try to be Cool. I don't think about being Cool or even what Cool is.  I just get up early every day, do my stuff and it's everyone I interact with and those observing who describe me as Cool. 
     All day, every day and all night, every night, I ain't nothin but Cool and I'm not even tryin.  Like how I just dropped those two gs and made that last part of the sentence kinda rhyme.  All ya all probably thought that was kinda Hep but that was just me naturally spewing syllables step by step.  See what I mean? Oh come'on, you even think it's cool I didn't add the 'jelly bean'?  Cut it out!

     People say I'm Vincent Vega Cool but without all that blood drippin.
     Sisters say I was a Cool pup just doing my bawlin and crawlin.
     Erik asks how we're going to make Audiogon Cool.
     Obviously not with lame poems from this old Fool. 


Just having some fun acting the Fool,
          Tim
Okay, maybe a bit touched.

That's okay. People mistake me for Paul Newman all the time.
I get it.

"If there are actual degreed electrical/engineering physics/acoustic engineers and degreed physical scientists, please speak up"

Well Robert, as a math type I find that some degreed engineers are among the hardest to take. They seem fond of quoting theorems that don't apply, and then replying to objections by saying things like, "Oh, we get around that by ..." See any digital thread.

   The OP posed a very valid question sure to elicit the numerous responses already seen here. Manufacturers, scientists, audio experts, etc. are sure to respond to any question or comment.
   The reason I survey posts on these forums is to hear what others have to say about topics that interest me. Whether seeking advice or recommendations, it seems the purpose of posts is to hear what others have experienced as pertains to a particular issue. Replies to an OP often cascade into numerous personal opinions that eventually evolve into ones that have no constructive value to what was originally asked. Many times, it's just people boasting about their "super systems".
   Whether a person owns a $50 boom box or a mega $$$ system, everyone has a legitimate right to ask simple question without hearing about where they went wrong or "what may have been"

   Keeping things simple is, in my view, is cool.

Where I find that happens on Internet forums is where their degree is not in the actual field being discussed. Having a chem-eng degree does not make you an electrical engineer for instance (and vice versa of course). Unfortunately success in one particular endeavor in life often gives people the false impression that that success/expertise directly translates into everything else they do. It strangely hits mainly men of a particular IQ range that is above 100.
