BEST AUDIOGON POSTS

The ones I like best have all been deleted by the powers that be.

Of the ones that are still up and long-lasting, I like the one that's titled something like "Who are You?" as it is a nice personal introduction to some of the good folks posting here. A way to give some semblence of a personality to the user ID and the posts.

The one I've actually grown to hate the most, even though mine is amoung it's numerous responses, is, "What kind of Car do you Drive". I'm so sick of seeing that one come up to the top of my list over and over (recent contributions rise to the top).

Interesting, I like the one I like because I care very much about the content, and I dislike the one I do (and long ago stopped reading it) because I SOOOOO much don't care about the topic. Neither one has anything to do with audio though. Go figure.

Eldartford - Craig McCaw "collects" cars....Jay Leno "collects" cars (and bikes), Ralph Lauren, Steve McQueen (RIP)...my bad; the thread I was talking about is titled "What kind of car does a typical Audiophile Drive?". It had some 'fantasy' component to the question as I recall. Not that it would interest me any more if there are serious car collectors posting to that thread...Cars just don't float my boat. I would be just as interested in learning what toilet paper the typical audiophile uses. But you are right about the obsessive/collector nature of the hobby...it's probably more about that aspect of the Male libido-substitution (apologies to the six woman on this forum)...or maybe the more, more, more...what use is life if you haven't got the very best it has to offer, aspect of Western culture. God I wish I were sane!

In my view, you are one of the best contributors to this forum, but please please please try not to never use Steve McQueen and Ralph Lipschitz in the same sentence.

OH MY GOD! What have I done?!?! Please accept my apologies, I must have been in a drunken, sleep-deprived stupor when I wrote that sentence. Wait, that's not a good excuse...I've got it: Seattle is in it's 28th consecutive day of rainfall. 7 more and it's an all-time record. You can see why a person from these parts might not be thinking straight right about now. Now it's gonna' take months to get the image of Ralph on a motorcycle trying to keep up with the cloud of dust on the horizon that is Steve McQueen and Malcolm Smith, out of my wee brain. I hope you're happy you've made your point! Oh the agony!

Yes, unfortunately I do remember the winter of 98/99...that was GD miserable. It's those breaks of 24 hours with no water falling from the sky that make'em or break'em. It may count in the record books, but it sure don't make no difference to one's spirits. Hey, pack some of that CA sunshine in a few bags an tote'em up here with you this weekend Howard. You could probably finance your next audio purchase by selling them down in Pioneer Square.
