I'm happy that you enjoy your hobby and certainly that
you make so much of your own bits and bobs, but when
your flowery descriptions of just how much improved the

worst excesses of the Hi-Fi press. That made most
genuine sound enthusiasts simply stop buying them.

Keith's stuff is on-topic, interesting, and entertaining.

In a quirky sort of way.

What he's doing is right in line with the spirit of the
'rec' part of the group's name.

As are posts from people of the sonic accuracy persuasion.

Regarding your "flowery"
remark, Keith is one of the most skilled users of
language in here.

...in the eye of the beholder.

Maybe you just don't understand why he
does it, or why people come to this (or any other) group.

Here's a much-needed hint for you Wally: Not everybody comes here for the
same reason.

Seems to me that you expect this to be a place where the
discourse is dry and factual, where only equipment of a
certain standard is worthy.

There's nothing that says that discourse that is factual is necessarily dry.
In fact there's nothing more exciting than important truths, clearly stated.

You don't have to read his stuff, and you don't have to
whine about it, either.

Yup, in "Wally world" all opinions that conflict with Wally are whines.
