Steve, that is a great intention, but a completely lost cause. He has absolutely no clue what the point of your Neotech example above was... zero, nil, nada. Don't waste too much time on him, the direct approach doesn't work either. Really, this is a guy that has thousands of posts on this site, and not a single post in the music forums, none. Music is what this hobby is about. To him, it is about the gear. There is a constant state of something breaking in for his system, thousands and thousands of hours worth. How could you possibly ever enjoy listening to music that way? I wonder how many cds he owns.
Zephyr, great posts. I completely agree. In addition to having a thread view count available to him, it would be nice to have some kind of count of people that are completely turned off to this brand because of this thread. He looks at the number of views as an indication of how many people he is "helping". Teehee. How many people view just to get a gawk at the next bit of nonsense he posts. Kind of like audiophile rubberneckers. You know what is happening, but for some morbid reason still have to look.
