Yo, Pinkerton:

Since October 2004 you sent 4607 message to RAT, which is
rec.audio.tubes. You don't have a tube amp. Your
expressed attitude to tubes is that you hate them. Your
total contribution after 4607 messages to a tube
conference is generally agreed to be zero, in fact
negative. Most consider that you did this vile thing
maliciously and pettily.

If each of those messages took you only ten minutes to
find and read the post you responded to, to type and send
you reply, that is 46070 minutes or 767 hours or over 50
hours every month to ruin other people's glee in their
hobby

What's your excuse?

No excuse is needed for telling the truth in the face of hype and false
claims.

The so-called "glee with their hobby" is often pretty pathetic, as this post
fragment from rec.audio.pro illustrates:

"Unfortunately many people have somehow been led to believe that tubes
automatically impart some kind of magic fairy dust, so manufacturers
exploit that."

All this time that is wasted creating bad-sounding amps could be invested in
making good sounding (SS) amps.

The time could be spent other audio projects that are forward-looking as
opposed to backward-looking.
