I have lived in a semi-socialist country, so I know a lot about over-regulation and its negative effects. Only things that can hurt you need be regulated. If you want to hurt yourself in the wallet by purchasing stuff purely based on the sellers hype -then you must be allowed to do so. Just ask all women purchasing anti-ageing cream... (The manufacturers of which, I can assure you, make several orders of magnitude more money than modders.) -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
