Sadly, much of what you have observed hits the nail squarely on the head. It seems well over 90% of the time when someone suggests a piece of gear it is unqualified. And, as you observed, the OP often never lists what qualities they are looking for. So it is garbage in, garbage out. It becomes a predictable and unhelpful exchange of the same things over and over.
On other hand, there are some threads that have been wonderful sources of information that have run for even years populated by some members who are real gems. Just wished that occurred more often.
