Are these 'others' helpless children unable to make their own decisions? Assuming we're talking about responsible adults, each of us needs to find out, through trial and error, what works for us. Mistakes are how we learn (I should know, I've made plenty).

I prefer to make up my own mind about what sounds good, and am not interested in agreeing with anyone about what "is the right way" of experiencing this hobby.
Well at least that is nice to know, i really cannot stand all that Sheepish behaviour.
