Audiogoners Anonymous?


The first step is knowing that you have a problem.

And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.

Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?

I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?

Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Boy, oh-boy! I’m there too, maybe not as addicted as the above Audiogoner’s (my wife would disagree) but only because my job does not allow me the time to hook up with the computer more than twice during working hours for a short time. But later in the evening after dinner, Oh-boy it’s Audiogon, music and me!
suggestion to reduce time spent on audiogon purchase a audio aero Capitol Mark 2 CD player it's reduced my time spent here by 2-3 hours each day makes me listen instead of surfing.
I have a solution to your problem -get rid of the girlfriend. I am a bachelor and have no one to tell me that I have a problem, so I think this means that I don't have one, doesn't it? Maybe I'm just still in the denial stage.
One day the vintage component I've been daily searching for the last three years will appear and that day it shall be mine, bwahahaha... If it helps, remember rehab is for quitters :^)
I thought my wife wrote this thread.
"No really honey I'm just checking what's new, I'll be off in a second."
