No, I'm not trying to convince myself of anything, please try not to assume what people are or are not thinking.

You certainly have the condescending troll demeanor pretty much nailed.

You could take the same stance with just about any Apple product, HDTV, Blu-ray player, etc. There will always be a forum with a vocal minority that vent their issues. I suppose there will always be a few people who put off buying for this reason too. I have spent a lot more time on home theater forums, and I've watched people agonize over this issue and that issue that people have.. and literally spend YEARS trying to buy a TV. The next one that's right around the corner will always most certainly FINALLY be the one that gets everything right. Meanwhile there's a satisfied majority that spend their free time enjoying whatever item it is that they needed instead.
