Well, yes, it's just basic pragmatism. I've been buying CDs since the 80s and was part of that generation that had everything suddenly being reissued on CD--people four or five years older than me didn't have that growing up. It was only much later that I realised, prompted by a friend of mine, what the problems were, even with the best CD transfers (and the ones in the 80s were mostly shit, but still better than some of the 'remasters' you get nowadays--brrrr).
While I very much hope that analogue recording and analogue records will become the industry standard again, I'm under no illusion that some people will always prefer convenience over quality. And yes, plenty of stuff I'm interested in I can only get easily on CD, and I'll listen to things in even worse quality on-line if I can't get the record. Modern life is rubbish, after all.

You'll have to forgive my misunderstanding, you believe it's pointless to press a digital file onto vinyl but you still buy them. We could get along after all :)
