Well, I'd be very sad indeed if we couldn't use a bit of humour and that can include a bit of teasing, as you put it. But every now and again this does spin off threads - like part of this one, up to the point of my previous post - which get just nasty, which I don't think is a good thing. BTW - I'd also prefer not to abandon the term "audiophile" to mean only the flat-earth variety. Maybe that means I count as "young" in your understanding, which would be delightful (its a long time since anyone called me that!).
