These things actually kept me away from the LCD-2 for a long while. I just couldn't fathom the degree of fanboyism and protectionism coming from karthdude. It was sickening.
I read BabyAnts review at HF, thought it was good, then I ordered the phones shortly after seeing a few others agree with his assessment. I feel sorry for someone who is so sensitive and thin-skinned. I think he is still whinging at HF. My comment about newbies was only very partially directed at him, but he took it to heart. He actually apologizes for something he said at HF every few pages or so, again, sorry the guy seems unhinged a bit. It is interesting to note who has basic human interaction skills coupled with common sense and who does not. That's all one needs to fit in here IMO.
