- Anyone who is unwilling to share his ideas because of the fear of flames
- from snobish audiophiles is simply paranoid. For every flame, he will
- recieve 20 meaninful reactions. Please do not attempt to seperate this
- into multiple groups. There is too much knowledge to isolate each other
- the way you want.
-
- BTW: rec.audio.high-end does exist.
