About users with hidden agendas

Ted wanted to cover his tracks, and as thread OP he got to decide if they were permanently deleted.

How do we take down a thread once it’s already started? Constant redirection and misinformation, that is the status quo for users with a (not so) hidden agenda.

Awwwww Bless 

It is a pity that within the software settings an OP has the ability to nuke a thread , a number have been that contained valuable and informative contributions from members … At the very most an OP should have to contact the moderators and with a good reason in order to delete. 

Can't we just end the back and forth pettiness and agree with the OP that posters who own a company selling audio products or are promoting one should make it clear either in their name or their signature? 

Except cars.....there is a nice correlation between auto and audio enthusiasts. It seems to emerge when the subject of car audio (blech) comes up.

people are apparently mad at ted denney, who is open about what he's selling, for daring to ask questions like "would you prefer a system that sounds great, or a system that measures well?" others are apparently addicted to making every last topic in audio about miller carbon. i don't get it guys. who cares
