Where do you come up with these strange ideas?

>>That would lead any reasonable person to adopt Blu-ray over HD DVD. Being a reasonable person,<<

You? A reasonable person? What a bunch of nonsense!

A reasonable person doesn't become a fanatical format cheerleader. A reasonable person doesn't try to claim that their choice of consumer technology gives them some sort of moral superiority. A reasonable person actually tries things out, and makes informed judgments, instead of declaring mindless loyalty and attacking anyone who doesn't mindlessly agree.

The thing that makes you so utterly ridiculous, such an absolute laughingstock, is that you are arguing from a position of total ignorance with people who actually own and use both formats. When your "facts" are dismissed, you start weaving fantasies. You remind me very much of a notorious DVD-Audio bigot who declared SACD to be technologically inferior, and an evil corporate plot, and spent several years attacking it and anyone he perceived to be an SACD supporter, despite having absolutely no meaningful personal experience with SACD. He always had a stock set of "facts" at hand, and when those didn't work, he invented fables and wove conspiracy theories too. The parallels are uncanny.

I will give you credit for your tenacity though. Most people who have made a fool of themselves as many times as you would eventually give up - but not you! Way to go, Jazz!
