As an "M", why don't you, Dennis and Jeff talk to moderators about a LSES sub forum so the rest of us don't have to be subjected to it?

What are you talking about?
I challenge you to find any of my posts that were not directed at trying to assist the DIY community.
I sell (at most) five amplifiers per year, and have never once hawked my amplifiers on this site.

Jeff counts you as a compatriot from the old days. I believe he thinks that anyone that wrote a letter to Sound Practices to be in his camp. If that's not the case, blame him.
I have noticed a distinct trend from a number of the "old guard"(and I mean guys from the '90's) to stand beside each other as though their dogma was somehow related to a holy grail type of belief system. I have all of the SP issues and read them religiously and still believe in the attitude. I also think that guys like JC Morrison, Herb Reichert and Thomas Meyer still know more about tube audio design than 99% of the posters here. Specifically including JM, DF, and you JD. So, go ahead and support your buddies, they and you need it. You sell snake oil, promote magic beans and try to subvert real understanding of electronics and the appreciation of music.
Naturally, I expect you to refute these claims and I encourage you to do so,it will only fan the fires of opposition.

Jeff Medwin is among my oldest of audio acquaintances; and I will never forget/deny his influence.One of my very earliest audio recollections goes back to around 1981: I had a highly-modified Stereo 70 that I imagined could not be significantly improved upon; and, Jeff recommended that I replace the external (multi-Farad) capacitor bank with a single 100 uf oil cap - I thought he was nuts - but, oh my God, it was a HUGE improvement!
More importantly, it is significant to recognize that this was at a time when absolutely no one acknowledged that oil caps (or less capacitance) might actually sound better.While I do not automatically endorse everything Jeff says: he has great ears, is a true mensch, and is totally dedicated to helping the DIY Audio community.
For me: I believe in honesty, and I believe in supporting whatever gets you closer to reveling in music.

What your suggest would be hard to do.....fortunately I am married. Anyway, you don't have to support Dennis and Jeff. I was just thinking that a sub forum would be a way to clear some of the noise here. Do you think a sub forum would have some merit? A "Modern Power Supply" forum or something like that?
.
But: I have not advocated 'modern power supplies' (nor do I even know what that means), and I do not consider my posts to be noise.
Ask Dennis and Jeff. Their LSES idea is part of their modern power supply concept. Their ideology...not mine.
