Well, we all have opinions, but if you want to see some examples of people who belong in the bag to be whacked about a bit, you might consider the folks over at PS Audio for their audiophile fuses, Michael Green for his wooden tuning blocks, that guy pimping the Magic Pebbles, and the CD and Vinyl Demagnetizer folks for starters.

Just because you CAN have an opinion about a topic doesn't mean you SHOULD just for no other reason than you can.
The notion that all opinions are equally valid is ridiculous, and flies in the face of objectivity.
