Maybe it was obvious to you for years, but I have found this year in particular, that more and more people post statements, claims, "facts" on internet forums who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
Since they hide behind aliases and can always drop out of discussions when they are pressed for evidence or confronted with conflicting evidence, it is tempting to build yourself up as an authority and whenever questioned, defend yourself with insider information that can't be mentioned.
Many of these people probably believe that their knowledge is beyond the average and that it is their mission to inform the uneducated, but what different are they from classical trolls? I will call them trolls 2.0.
There is one particular poster on the other board, who always claims to an expert on a certain group with 7 letters, and it is my firm belief that he is nothing but a troll 2.0.

Does this have something to do with Beatles remasters?
Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

I trust none of it. I especially don't trust any recording information that may come from that direction.
That said, I've always found claims of NR on the '87 CDs questionable. Abbey Road in particular is always cited, and I've never noticed less hiss on there than on the Japanese release. It's kind of fun having a copy of that CD, but I wouldn't pay more than the $8.99 I spent on it.

No argument there.
Yes...I seem to recall the remasters being due in early 2007. Or was it early 2006?

There was an article floating around over there last year where Olivia Harrison said that the remasters would be out either late 07/early 08.
For me anyway, the release of said remasters would be anti-climatic as we've had so many false starts that I've long since given up caring anymore.
That said, I've noticed that my interest in the Beatles wanes more and more each year. They were four guys, not gods as so many over there continue to think.

I'm excited enough to burn copies of every one of the remasters for the collection.
No, really, I would enjoy seeing some amazing packages hit the bins with a ton of extras. They better have extras like you never imagined, like over flowing with extras. Pictures, outs, ss, high rezzy, etc. Any attempt to hold back and not include what we all know is there will keep me away.
