That was not the statement. How exactly does Huddler-fi encourage the community aspects of the hobby which is absolutely necessary for the development of meets at all scales?
The problem is that enthusiasts are not necessarily born. Many are formed as a community forms. Perhaps the problem is that the sense of community that was once part of Head-Fi is no more.
Consider the BHSE there (along with Omegas and Omega IIs so no drinking near them). Oh and I will bring the ingredients for the two signature cocktails, the Head-case sidecar and the Head-case Sazerac.
I have not had much luck finding either Dolin Rouge or Carpano antica, even in Chicago lately. This was an Internet order that had free shipping so I took advantage of it.
Clement "Creole Shrubb" Liqueur d'Orange (750ml)
Ransom Old Tom Gin (750ml)
Dolin Vermouth de Chambery Rouge NV (750ml). X2
Carpano "Antica Formula" Red Vermouth (1L) x2
Pages Parfait Amour Creme de Violette Liqueur (750ml)
Last order before the holidays unless I run out or see something interesting such as some William LaRue Weller.
