Simon,
Sorry , I cant find that thread . I think you may be right about the screen size which would support that theory. I no longer bookmark because they all invariably end up in a slagging match. Example :

" This forum has more thread closings than I have ever seen here at AVS. I have to tell you that what should have been a fun, light hearted format struggle has turned us against each other. It was never like this in the past. For example, you should have been around for the 'argumentative' posts in the 'Tweaks' Forum (power cables, interconnects, balanced power, etc). Talk about heated discussions and strong opinions.....! But these threads never got personal, rarely if ever closed, and no personal attacks. I simply don't get it here any more "


Closely followed by :

" Blu-ray'ers keep getting lonely in their own forum so they have to cross over to HD-DVD to spread FUD.

And then they get offended when its refuted."

Some thread titles make me weep and even if someone CONCLUSIVELY proves it wrong they never change it . The moderators cant keep up ! Its tone is probably unavoidable when companies like Sony pour forth such as this :

"Blu-ray Disc enjoyed a nitros oxide-like burst of horsepower late last year from the release of Sony's PlayStation 3 that propelled the format soaring past HD DVD in a 'blu' streak "

Far from giving up my hobby , Ive been 'coerced' into making a choice .If I have to make another ( for me ) less popular choice in the future I will , but at this stage its almost become a moral issue with me ( though I espect others' rights to a different opinion).

I think VK is right. Sony's trail of destruction regarding format wars costs us all deeply in the end. This time I want to vote with not just my feet , but my wallet too.

And now I'm going to cheer up laugh and play some Porcupine Tree and my owner is bringing me for a big birthday out ( and I believe T2 and Le Pacte Des Loupes' on Hd-DVD are being ordered from France too wink )

Ciao!
