For as long as I have been involved in "high end" audio (Now 25+ years), two general concerns have persisted among audiophiles: 1)The imminent demise of the industry, a concern which has reached near fever-pitch in recent years; and 2) The elitist attitude of far too many retailers, one which obviously feeds into No 1).Some of the posts on this thread seem to share at least some of this attitude, one which scarcely will encourage novices to continue to pursue a hobby that appears to be dominated by snobs. The sales "associates" at Best Buy, Circuit City, The Wiz, etc., may not be terribly knowledgable, but at least they are usually friendly and as helpful as 30 minutes training allows them to be! And they don't make you feel like a complete idiot for asking rudimentary questions.
Perhaps this is not a perfect analogy, but I think it's close enough to (I hope) make the point that we need to encourage, not discourage, people to develop a stronger interest in this hobby. If that means wading through some less than enlightening posts or exercising patience with newcomers, well, I for one am all for it.
