nobody talks about BAT anymore?

Sean 34 is correct, at least in context of this thread.

However, (there is always a however) some postings are not legitimate questions (praise of magic rocks and the like) and these deserve the ridicule they elicit. Ridicule is a gentle way of saying "you must be nuts".

Of course, to the general public, all audiophiles are nuts.

I am in agreement on the postings that are completely ridiculous questions...when someone has a legitimate question, different story.

One other thing and I will leave it alone, I think all of this comes down to COMMON COURTESY, not that it has to do with anyone being thin skinned. It seems like everywhere you turn now common courtesy has been lost. I'm done, sorry if I took this thread over.

I sure hope that everyone doesn't agree with everything said on Audiogon. That would be downright boring! We ought to be able to distinguish vigorous debate from insults.
