Good advice falling on deaf ears

Sometimes i think i'm such a geek that no one ever really listens to what i have to say , not amongst like minded geeks like yourself yes you(well i assume you have something naim therefore you must be a geek ). I think forums can be a valuable resource for good information but sometimes that info gets buried. It can very often be the case of the person with the best sounding advice being listened to rather than the correct advice. Of course this is a life problem not just a forum one. I for instance mentioned to a work mate when he was talking about getting a new tv that plasma would be the way to go,when i tried to explain why i saw the lights turn off inside his head so just left it at that,the salesman at the local electrical retailer convinced him i was talking rubbish and that this was his job blah de blah then sold him a poor excuse of an lcd tv (good salesman I suppose or bad depending on how you look at it). I feel like i have let him down or is that the other way round to .I must try not to let this put me of posting for fear of looking silly,If one day maybe i can save but one poor soul then maybe it will all be worth it . Ok rant over.

ps the bit about being a geek is just a joke but you are, just admit it
