I'm actually quite good at expressing what I mean.  I was simply
ambushed by someone more concerned about definitions of terms than
focusing on the primary thrust of the thread.  I never wanted to
discuss how much a system I'd buy was or what the exact definition of
an audiophile is.  Nor was I interested in opinions on how bad MP3
sounds to some. All attempts to get back to the subject were hijacked. 
I tried to address them so we could get back on course, but found it to
be a fruitless endeavor.

I didn't find a high-end shop that gave encoded music the time of day
and was interested in what other's thoughts were.  I futher pointed out
that all of them were pleasantly surprised by the quality you could
achieve from MP3.

If you read the rest of the posts, there is plenty of good commentary
that doesn't take the time to question me, my knowledge, my budget,
whether I read certain magazines, or whether I take hours to craft
forum entries so as not to set off people, etc.  In fact, they
confirmed what I originally believed.  There's a fundamental shift in
the industry that will probably shake a few things up.
