TECHNICALLY... Vintage means:
denoting something of high quality, especially something from the past or characteristic of the best period of a person's work.
So an IBM model M keyboard is vintage, but a keytronics rubber dome affair of the same age is NOT.
Quality is often subjective.
That is another definition of vintage. Another definition would be of that particular era. E.g. when you buy wine/scotch, you say I want 2005 vintage or something.
I think it's okay for people to have different definitions of what vintage and retro. I don't think it's okay for the mods of a forum to dictate that and let members of said forum be total asshats to those that disagree.
