Who died and made you the Ambassador of Peace and Goodwill among Audiophiles?

There are six kinds of audiophiles:

(1) Subjective audiophiles who think they have above average hearing skills and above average intelligence ... that leads them to have the best stereo system in their neighborhood

(2) Subjective audiophiles who prefer not to brag about their hearing skills unless they can prove their claims to witnesses under controlled listening conditions

(3) Measurement nerds

(4) People like TubeGuy 1954, who is in a league of his own, although I've heard that his wife very often compares him with a young Paul Newman:
("You're no Paul Newman")

(5) Troublemakers like kerr who pretend to be goodwill ambassadors while really trying to stir up more trouble

(6) People like me who try to provide serious and important audio system advice, at least when not deliberately trying to stir up trouble, pick fights with TubeGuy (who probably has the best stereo in Florida but will never give out his address because he knows we'd steal it), call golden ears "buffoons", and post harmless jokes that are sometimes even recognized by a few readers as jokes. However this is all caused by my Irritable Male Syndrome, and is not my fault.
