Your unwelcome..your welcome😁👍

Hello,

New here.. joined 15 minutes ago..posted some information about fuse ratings and a moderator closed the thread!?!

What sort of place is this 🙄?

 

[Mattyboy]

I'm hoping it's an ok kinda place?

Am I right 🤞or am I wrong😭?

 

[12th Monkey]

I did. The thread was a decade old - you are welcome to start a new thread on appropriate subject matter.

Please read the forum rules though - commenting on moderation is not permitted: What Hi-fi? Official Community Rules | What Hi-Fi? Forum (whathifi.com)

I'll let you off on this occasion as you are new, but adherence to the rules is expected. Welcome, btw.

 

[Mattyboy]

Ok..

Thanks for the warm welcome 12 monkeys


Is sarcasm permitted here?

I’m warming to you already. Is that sarcastic enough?

 

[Mattyboy]

No. Because ultimately once you get to know me I'm hoping you will find some warmth 😁. ..on the sarcasm front you will have to try harder than that 😉

I love music and I'm interested in hifi 👍

 

[12th Monkey]

I'd leave sarcasm until such point as you become 'known' to people.

 

[Mattyboy]

I do have a tendancy/ bias that leans in this direction... can't seem to help it...I will try to tame it though for you folks here👍

.I will try to tame it though for you folks here👍

That's the problem with sarcasm on the internet - no-one ever knows whether you mean what you say! Pulling your leg there - this one's taken at face value.

 

[Mattyboy]

Ok straight talkin it is then...

 

[Mattyboy]

I joined this (what) hifi forum to discuss and answer questions with other like minded people..i.e those that have an interest in hifi and listening to music through said hifi.

In my daily life I have never met a fellow human being who shares the same passion/interest/obsession. In the early days (15 years old) when ever I tried to start a conversation regarding this 'topic' nearly always met with bemused looks and distaste, disapproval..dislike and contempt. Even today (49 years old) I never discuss this topic with any of my colleagues, peers, friend's, or family other than with the exception of my wife and that I keep as infrequent and minimalist as I possibly can....

So far here my experience has almost replicated that in real life..

Disappointed to say the least 🙄👎

 

[WayneKerr]

Stick around and get used to the place before making rash judgements. We are all here for the same thing, a love of music and, of course, hifi.

 

[WayneKerr]

Conversely, if you think you've found somewhere to discuss the sonic improvements obtained from aftermarket fuses, cables, etc., without being challenged, then you may have made an error. There are many on here who are firm believers... and just as many who are not.

 

[Mattyboy]

..and so the disappointment continues...🙄

 

[WayneKerr]

If you're gonna come on here and spout the sonic attributes of changing a fuse then be prepared to be challenged by guys who know their stuff
