Obsession and addiction can occur with any pursuit. Setting up a Holy Grail and then relentlessly pursuing it can be very destructive, but that is not the fault of audio or any other hobby. These are problems that can rise to a harmful level, and fall into the area of mental health issues. These can go way beyond our asylum jokes and banter.On the other hand, Rodney has expressed some ideas that I think describe the most positive aspect of our hobby - having fun, playing. In it's healthiest form, audio can be a substitute for some of the things that make childhood such a pleasure for many. Unfortunately, many have not had happy childhood or adolescent years, and carry those burdens into adulthood.
I think we've got a lot of overgrown kids here.
Not all at the asylum, however, fall into that category. Many (like Nigel, for instance) have evolved into higher life forms for whom child-like play is a long lost pastime.
