I think there is a general problem with bulletin boards in that the majority of the message is always missing - the facial expressions, the tone of voice and the inbuilt politeness that most people have. This one is better than most, people do apologise if they believe they have offended someone. I've had some disagreements where people really just couldn't see my point, probably because I wasn't explaining it well, but I looked forwards to the replies because it was a good "pub" debate. It would be a shame if heavy handed moderation started, I would give up for one. The whole point of the product is community and shared vision and part of that is debate, sometimes heated. Without that, it's just another commercial product and therefore I personally would be much more critical of the product's shortcomings. Without this board, I would never have bought a SB and I would probably have also returned it given the number of minor niggles that I suffered getting it to run well. The odd thing about this whole thread to me is the perceived need to shut it down, so many people were trying to help, some went off on a few crusades and cracked a few jokes that probably belong on the private message system, but most wanted the poor guy to enjoy his purchase and it was a good thread in my view. -- CardinalFang You're only young once, but you can be immature forever... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24613 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
