The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

OP- " Instead of reflecting on how many posts I have made in 9 days, perhaps reflect on who comes to this particular thread (and my 5 stages one). While some came in, made a comment and left, the usual suspects, the real prolific posters with many many thousands of posts, who pshaw the very notion of these two threads, are the ones repeatedly posting in them. Why are a few paragraphs of text so threatening?"

- Way too many words, in such a short time, that mean less to the masses than to the author. Nobody has left, just watching the train wreck, can't look away ...
Perhaps they were stringing words together just fine, but you did not understand? And just who have you met?


Copy/paste ... no one that has a technical background and experience in this field needs to cut and paste. Conjecture changes by the day, facts don’t.


Thank you again for proving the validity of this thread.

I am pretty sure if I spent a day or two on those forums, I would have enough material to copy / paste their  (likely also copy / paste from someone else), and spread it around all Internet audio groups. That’s what these guys do. Meet one of them in person, and you will see. I have. And they can barely put a few words together.

The majority of people that buy audiophile equipment read forums, but they don’t post in them. Most people who can afford this stuff are of above average intelligence. My posts are not for the ostriches, they are for everyone else .... if you are going to watch a train wreck, it is best not to be on the train.

Knowing how you behave on Facebook, I will pass thank you. If I did, you would be running to Facebook in 5 minutes to tell Ted, I know the obsession you and him have with Ethan.
