AudiWorld.com Forums + Audifans.com Forums ?!

[Jon Linkov]

If you look closely, Audiworld is part of a larger "network" of sites. They
seem to have a different agenda than the Audifans list (not that I'm bashing
their agenda). Methinks it would be a long process to merge the two, what
with, it seems, the financial interests involved on the Audiworld side.
