Newbies sometimes talk about head-fi a lot. In fact, its often a place people here recommend for them instead.
I think the longer you stay a member here, the less most wish to continue to rant about head-fi. Well, maybe not, there is a lot of ignorant stuff said there that you do have to ignore, but its an SSDD situation that you no longer wish to hear as much about if that makes sense. And assuming you can participate and stay a member; we all enjoy our hobby, but this forum is more about a like minded community between a close group with the hobby coming somewhere inside of that. Because of that, I personally feel that the hobby banter is much more meaningful and focused on adding to the conversation when you are replying to a friend rather then a stranger. Knowing the person more can make even seemingly trivial things much more interesting and/or useful.
