The biggest problem is the SNR (signal-noise ratio). It is really easy
to do wisecracking and post the 50th variation on the same old joke and
get a number of your buddies to chime in with their own variations. Soon
you have 10 postings like that for every one serious posting. How is
anyone going to take the time to read through all this to extract any
useful information?

On top of that, when all the wisecracking has a theme that says that
audiophiles are idiots (more or less), how friendly will that feel for
anyone coming here with their questions?

It is also somewhat bizarre that some of the most frequent posters here
have displayed next to no interest at all in sound quality, as far as
I've been able to tell.
