If you cannot tell, I am what is known as an old soul, and I consider my peers to mostly be immature, and too arrogant, and shallow. I also have some strange interests (at least in my peers' eyes

), and you guys are the best forum on the web. I used to lurk in a lot of them, and I can see that there is nothing better than AudioKarma. I learn a lot of information that I could ordinarily never learn, and I get to look at the systems that people have put together out of their love for music. I also drool over gear that I cannot yet afford (as I am sure everyone here did/still does), and it is probably some of the same stuff that you all used to drool over, especially reel to reel decks and speakers.
In short, it's just a great place to be, and I could not think of another place on the web that I enjoy more.
