Why do you give bad advice?


Now I'm not talking about different opinions or an honest mistake, but a response that is clearly bad advice. Here's just one example.

Poster states that due to living in a small town and no larger town in a reasonable driving distance, he has no way to audition, so he's looking for helpful advice in considering an upgrade.

Then I see responses like, listen to as many as you can before deciding, take whatever to your local dealer to see how well they match, or find a good brick and mortar dealer to audition.

I see this happening more, so maybe it's just a sign of the times that many don't take the time to read the entire post and only respond to the title.

OK, that's my little rant for the day.

Yes, easier to provide solid response to a well defined question.That said,  I believe it easier to respond to a poor question than to produce a well defined one. Must admit that I have on occasion overlooked something in an OP,  leading to an unnecessary question rather than to poor advice.  
I greatly enjoy this forum. I has allowed me to share my interest in this hobby and  have learned a great deal from the interaction. To do so is simple: Select OPs that interest; follow those that maintain same; participate when induced to do so; ignore those that are not of interest, or intrude on ones' sensitivities; always take the high road.
