The only other forums I can think of with the same types of knows-it-all are car modification sites. There are people who are completely blasted even though they preface their question with "newbie trying to learn" as the subject of their posts. With all things it takes time to learn and retain knowledge and with most people they are going to make mistakes and hopefully learn from those mistakes along the way. I have really enjoyed Axiom's forum so far and those I have encountered, even those who throw an occasional jest, have been willing to share their knowledge and have been helpful to me as I take my first dive into the home audio world.
