The suggestion was somewhat tongue in cheek tbh...
Of course it is a valid question, but it has been covered so many times, and on each occassion the result is always - always - the same. And some of the discussion is not always nice, in what is otherwise a fantasic and friendly community.
I have only been really active on these forums for a couple of months, and in that short space of time have joined the "oh no hear we go again camp". Not because I don't think the subject is valid, but because of the aforementioned break out of all out world war. So for some of those that have been active on this forum for a while (and with less than 100 posts I don't include myslef with the veterans, lol), the subject clearly grates, and I can understand why.
On the other hand, people coming on to the forum for the first time have a very valid question, and to be fair, the forum lets them down in this sense - there is no facility for "stickies" and the search function is broken. I tried searching "HDMI" myself to test this out, and none of the previous "WW3" threads came up (and the "more results" function doesn't work).
So it is understandable anyone new would not know (a) the bad feeling the subject can cause, and (b) the eventual outcome of every single discussion. And it would be a great pity if someone new asked the question, and never came back again because of the ensuing war.
