Well said, Ben (and others). I didn't have a popularity contest in mind and certainly didn't contemplate any sort of complicated formula with a "winner" who receives a cash prize and a charitable donation as suggested by Unsound. My intent was to more to allow fellow members to give thanks where thanks is due, but this occurs naturally on a daily basis. I'm still relatively new to high-end audio, and living in the Caribbean, the A'gon forum has become a great resource for me. Incidentally, many of the posters on this thread would have made my honorable mention list.
Audiogon Hall of Fame? And the nominees are...
Several threads of late have been devoted to providing words of kindness and appreciation to fellow members and the AudiogoN staff for making the shared experience here so wonderful and unique. Another set of threads has lamented the paucity of high quality reviews (or, more to the point, the influx of mediocre reviews) resulting from the giveaway sweepstakes currently in progress. It occurs to me that it may be more appropriate to reward those who have made the greatest contribution to the forums over these past years!
I nominate the following 5 individuals to the A'gon Hall of Fame:
Cornfedboy
Albertporter
Sean
Twl
Garfish
I've limited myself to 5 and have simply named those who came to mind most quickly. I haven't entered into any transactions with these gentlemen, but have learned so much from their posts. There are dozens more... tell me, who are they?
My only rule is nothing negative!
