Pet audiophile peeves - name yours

I know the search need work but you have to admit there are a huge number of folks who dont even try to search an answer, the site and the web in general has such a wealth of knowledge its a shame many dont take advantage of it.

Chad,
I agree. Yes, there is still a wealth of knowledge when you do a good search. I always try to do a search before I start a thread. There are some newbies who still haven't figured the search thing out yet, though. You would think that whoever the moderators are for our forums that before they allow a thread to be posted they would take that into consideration to avoid wasted bandwidth.

Isnt some rule about that in the list of do and dont's about Audiogon? Yet many postings about new and relevant items go poof! Weekly

Guys
nothing wrong with asking a question
if the answers will save you a costly mistakes.
Nobody is perfect.
I think it is nice to know that there is someone who can help.
So if you can help
DO IT.
You never know when you will need a hand.
Isn't it what this is all about????
There are audiophiles on differant levels
but we all share the same passion - MUSIC.
Cheers

Inexperienced vinyl sellers who continually advertise hot stampers when they couldn't tell one from a clothes hamper.

One would need to hear dozens of copies of the same record to designate any one a "hot stamper" and even then who decides it is sonically superior enough to wear that crown.

And please define hot stamper.

Beware of the rookies.
