Richard's hi-fi ranting 'Room 101'

[Steve Toy]

I've moved this thread to the Blank Canvass where it deserves to be. We can have two Richard threads - a room 101 for non-hi-fi rants and a room 102 for this.

Richard, I find myself agreeing with pretty much everything you write.

NO RETAILERS - NO MARKETING MEN means better quality (cos you can afford to add extra) AND lower price.

Then how do people find out about product? This goes for the wider world of electronics as well as HiFi.

The web - forums - face book type things and community - you ain't seen nothing yet. In 10 years the world is a different place - shops are for cafes, restaurants and estate agents. AND hopefully not eatate agents. Tesco is starting to sell houses for you on line!!!!!!

How can I have only just discovered this thread?

Splendid stuff! Keep up the excellent work Richard.

JCB & Ashley, you just don't get it do you?

[Mr. C]

Richard,

Have you considered a career in Politics?
Some good points in there too.

Ashley and Jcb, sort of head/sand syndrome going on there!

[Mike]

Tut tut, whats wrong with you all?

AVI is the only game in town you know. The iPod and all it's associated excellent add-ons and sycophants will rule the world soon!

Isn't that just marketing by a different name?

[Mike]

I don't think it's the 'marketing' part thats the problem. It's the 'men'!

[Chris Frost]

how so?

[Mike]

Richard is (largely) referring to a certain 'duo' of marketing men who are apparently trying to take over several threads in an attempt to promote a certain product!

As well as a tendency for such folk to add heaps onto the price of products in general.

I think!
