Touche'; the web has reached critical mass of misinformation and the saddest part is people with out the desire to actually think through problems on their own use it as a surrogate brain. Now instead of having opinions carefully formed;...people have web-sites easily refuted. The prospect that this type of behaviour will result in folks becoming more and more easily manipulated and less able to actually puzzle out and form a position is the drawback. Personal experience is becoming moribund as a reference because you always get some nit-wit useless website thrown in your face instead of someone's actual life experience and somehow people believe that has an integrity more valuable than your years of studying life. They defy their own observances and subjugate their own opinions to some other individual. Sad. I see the parrallel to what you are saying in every walk of life now; audio internet is just a metaphor for all the other internet experiences.
