Hey Terence

[Jim Clark]

I think a lot of you are missing the point.

Might be true, if you include yourself in that group.

there is no "beechin' books" forum here. There is no "wednesday alchoholics" forum here. Those posts can stand anyplace. thus they remain at rave recs.

Hopefully! Until Eric chimed in I'm not so sure anyone necessarily believed it would end that way. BTW, you are incorrect in your assumption: http://forums.audioreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29 As many stated, not all of us are interested in combing every forum in the joint.

Frankly, there are a lot of message boards that won't allow ANY OT discussions at all. I think it's cool that they do here..

The distinction of course being posted rules. I believe Terrence cited HTF but the difference is: "5. Members are to respect the designated TOPIC AREAS when posting their message. This includes off-topic and sales information that does not belong in the Main Forum area. Those who post messages that do not relate to the topic area, will have the threads closed or the posts deleted.Repeated violations of this rule will result in removal of your membership."

There is a reason I have accumulated about 5 posts at HTF in the same amount of time I've spent at AR. I had a choice to make and made it based on the rules and I considered HTF to be too stifling. Should that environment be implemented here I quickly lose interest, simple as that. Could it happen? I guess that is what this thread is all about isn't it?
