On the other hand, would you support the establishment of an independent regulatory outfit to govern the sale of all products associated with audio industry?
I don't see this (or, any) forum as the gate-keepers of truth. Nor do I see the need for a formal regulatory body to "protect" us. I merely object to a "pile on" format where there is a implication of fraud to a product or products in the heading prior to an open discussion. It brings out the worst in us. A simple: "Hey, this <thing> is interesting. What do you think?" may provide a venue for higher level discussions that could actually yield something of value.
I enjoy this forum as an opportunity to share ideas across many venues with individuals with similar interests who quite often give me more than I give them. So, yes, in my world, it is highly relevant.
