To quote a recent article in VACUUM TUBE VALLEY magazine:

>Something about a chat area for a hobby seems to bring out the alleged experts;
>the "legends in their own minds". Because rec.audio.tubes is popular, it has 
>been hopelessly poisoned by idiotic banter between rival factions, with their
>violent intolerance of outside opinions. I don't have to name any names; just
>access the recent messages and sort them by postername. You will find that 90%
>of the messages came from the same few infantiles. And guitar-amp forums have 
>a few hardcores who, coincidentally, just happen to be service technicians or 
>parts dealers trolling for business. Call any of them on their blatant 
>self-promotion, and you'd better have an asbestos suit. Not only will they 
>"flame" you back, they will have a few supporters to help out.

It seems to me we are currently doing our best to fit this discription.

Perhaps we need to rename the list to OT-DIY
