Damn, I guess I really hit a nerve.

Congrats on the 2010. It was a pretty good deal in terms of price and
performance. At least you've owned one portable that you don't have to
feel defensive about.

As for the rest of your verbiage, I don't know what to tell you. If you
can't conduct a serious (or at any rate, halfway serious) conversation
about receivers, you came to the wrong place. I feel a little sorry for
you, since you're obviously out a lot of dough. At the same time, your
being all nasty and defensive ain't gonna hurt me, and it ain't gonna
make you any smarter. Just try to do a little research next time,
preferably BEFORE you make your purchase.

Hope this helps.
