if you're reading this then you already know...

Anybody else notice the laziness in ads lately? Seems to be getting worse especially in commercial ads. Every ad exclaims "if you're reading this then you already know" everything there is about how amazing product xyz is and all its technical features and have of course seen all the reviews. The ads in question then proceed to provide no links and no further information.

This is still a hobby forum. Please take the extra 2.5 minutes to provide YOUR perspective and maybe some information. If I "already knew" everything as the ads claim - I guess I'd be plugging my iPOD into my BOSE system for perfect sound 'cuz they claim the same thing
;)

in between the sublime and the ridiculuous, a word to the wise is sufficient.

an ad should be designed to sell the product. if the wording is ambiguous, one of three things may happen:

the ad will be ignored, questions will be asked of the seller, or efforts to obtain information from another source will be implemented.

why such a fuss over trivia ? case closed.

It maybe because one Is already on Audiogon that maybe one should know all there is to know about xyz. After all are we not a country of 'stats, facts, figures and performance'?

You guys are already on a computer wich has the ability to search and learn about almost any product, service or idea in the Universe so take advantage of it, if the seller is lazy so be it and if you are not as lazy do some research for gods sake......problem solved?
