Or we end up like Praxis on the first go?

Dude. Star Trek.

Praxis.

You need to relax a little.

So out of the various meanings of the word, including the dictionary entries, a band, a company, an ancient Greek goddess, a genus in biological taxonomy, and a philosophy journal, he uses an obscure meaning and expects that everyone will know it? Well, Lazarus here should know that it's unlikely that most people on head-fi are all Star Trek nerds watching reruns in their parents' basement.

Star Trek is not exactly obscure, you know. A lot of people have probably seen that movie, especially people on the internet. It was a fairly relevant reference, too.

And honestly, take it easy. You seem to be getting a little out shape over this.

Huh? There are over 1.3 billion people on the Internet. Most people in developed countries are on the Internet.
