Actually Ian, I find that a good thing!! It shows folks are enthusiastic about whatever it is they are using. It is positive thing and it is good to read how folks are really "getting into" their chosen 'board..

It only denigrates, when folks try to impose these opinions on others who are using something different. You know what happens, the little snide remarks when someone will make a positive comment re their 'board, and then others reply, but they preface the reply with things, like "...oh this X brand keybed is fantastic and so much better, but I see that you enjoy that keybed...." or " whilst my Brand X keyboard has the best sax around, I think yours is good if it meets your needs..." not being aware (or in some cases BEING aware) that this is really a "putdown".

This is where it goes wrong.... I have even done it myself.

So more power to those folks who choose to share their enthusiasm, and maybe less of us inserting surreptitious comparisons

BTW this is not directed at anyone in particular, as I think we all have done it to some degree at odd times.
