General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Old Asylum days are gone, unfortunately.

Two years ago AA was packed with industry insiders and serious hobbyists. The audio IQ was way high, and I felt priviledged just to ask questions and post in this forum.

Then the audio masses discovered AA, and the level of serious discussion became diluted. I myself am closer to being audio-rabble than audio-expert, but that's not my point. It's the opinions of knowledgable inmates that matter most to me, and not that I or some other numbskull gets to put in their two cents all the time.

Yes I think there's been too much democracy at AA, and here's my proposed remedy. Inmates who professionally review or design audio gear should get 16 point fonts for their posts. Anybody else who can DIY or who has industry affiliation should get 14 point fonts. Long term inmates who've paid their AA dues get 12 point fonts. Most everybody else gets 10 point fonts. Exception: Anybody who persists in off topic posting or rants on about midfi consumer electronics deserves 8 point or smaller fonts until their posts become unreadable.

Ok, ok ... It was just a thought. Not a bad idea though to find a way to rank the audio-expertise of inmates.
