OK! We've got this new forum all spic n span and now what are we going to do with it! I agree that the AA technical forums are ripe and ready for a good plowing under but damn if there isn't a wealth of knowledge in some of the brains that inhabit that underworld. I'd love to have a place like the Bottlehead Forum and the "old" Pi forum where I can ask technical questions and get curteous answers but in a non- commercial forum and get the kind of responces that were always forthcoming. Can we entice the Gurus to share their experience here? Obviously, we can count on Wayne Parham, a true gentleman and Loudspeaker whiz banger but how about the Paul Joppas, Kurt Strains, Jeremy Epsteins,Doc B's, Allen Wrights, Steve Benches, Volt Seconds etc. My slant here is obviously tube oriented but is meant to include all the technical elite. Are the founders hoping to attract this cream of the crop and hope they aspire to their highest standards of polite and courteous discourse? I wonder if a good part of the driving force in this audio hobby is a (healthy or not) competitiveness. This competitiveness amongst technical types (as indeed between all specialists) can often slip into a rather crude but harmless sarcasm which some may consider entertaining but others would be quite put off by. We and the moderators must accept a bit of heat and controversy to make the proceedings interesting to all. ...But then I still would like to get answers to my simple basic questions without having to endure the sneering blather of the A.H.s Thanks for letting me ramble on!
