    By the way Richard - are you are aware that a rating system already exists here?
    The "Rate this thread" link near the top of this page will do what you want.

    You can't expect a discussion to end just like that. Your point had interest to some and maybe further comment will be forthcoming.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Lol - well for me, most of them have. There are still a few belligerent idiots there, but every forum has some. IMO, the vibe over on pfm now is so much better than it used to be, and hi-fi topics are now no longer almost immediately derailed by the 'agenda monkeys'.

    So Basicaly, instead of giving a real reply, we resort to the equivilent of text messaging!
    Where we are not interested in the slightest in having a conversation with the recipient, just want to get our message across, Because that's the way i feel about those who use texting on a regular basis to comunicate, and IMHO the reason many youngsters have no idea how to engage in real world conversations, when face to face with the recipient.
    Yes, lets go that way!

    It's all a bit 'Facebook' isn't it?

    This is a community site first, a resource second. Although it is a good resource.

    We should be using the internet to facilitate normal, face to face contact, not to replace it. You get these youngsters 'texting' to each other even when they are sat in the same room. What's that all about?

    Richard, if you want to find out if a particular subject has been discussed, then just use the 'Search' facility at the top right corner and enter in the appropriate 'keywords'. If you can't find what you want, or feel your question hasn't been answered to your satisfaction, then start a new thread and state exactly your query.

    A good amount of factual (and largely technical) information has been lodged in The Knowledge. This is a valuable resource and is continually updated and added to.

    Apart from some occasional thread drift, most threads remain on track and an acknowledgment of the usefulness of a reply, when appropriate, is what keeps this
    forum the friendly place it is.

    And there's me, of course, but no forum's perfect.

    My comment about it being social is similar to Macca's comment. I know there are technical, helpful people here (hello Firebottle), but that isn't immediately obvious. Unlike say, diyAudio or Vinyl Engine. And as for the pfm comment, when did it change? I am talking about maybe a month ago. I don't know what it was like in the past.
    I'm not complaining about any of the fora, just giving my perceptions. I use all of them as needed.
