Why Do You Post?

All posts in a forum have value when they do not make fun of the topic. It is nice to exchange, views, findings, knowledge and can support them with your own experiences. There are people here who have certainly learned something more, practiced it, regardless of whether say so. I saw the other day a post by a happy man for all the advice he was given. That's the real value of participating and posting.

To learn about things I don't know, or to give insight on things I am certain about.

To learn and/or assist others if I can. I've been here since Audiogon went online originally.

...and let's admit that repetition kills interest but there are also new entrants and those who do not search in older or relevant posts. Fortunately, however, some will always respond even to same questions.

Posting is about knowledge sharing. Unfortunately the world is full of Know-it-alls spoiling the experience.

Can I replace "know-it-all" with "people with both the education and experience to confidently either state something as true or refute what someone else thinks is "knowledge" but is just an audiophile lore?
