I guess it all depends on one's definition of "connection". In addition one has to take into account the possibility that posters do not have English as their first language -no matter how weird and unlikely this may seem to some. Let's say a new member asks about something related to an mod of the SB. Let's -100% hypothetically of course, as something like that could NEVER happen here- assume one reply is that the SB has been perfectly engineered, and if you believe otherwise you surely must be an idiot with nothing better to do than throwing money down the drain. Then, yes, the reply has to do with the original question. On the other hand it may not have helped anyone in any way at all, as the OP will be pissed off, and the thread has now turned into a "slag 'em off"-fest. Now, one could argue that the reply had some very fin points indeed, but I wouldn't want to try it. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
