Buying on Audiogon

Pretty sure I understand plenty.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Very interesting observations there Schubert, tell me what is going to happen to that large city when it is solely controlled by one of the six large corporations?
Bomb shelter?
Deep underground catacombs?

Reminds me of "Demolition Man" movie...…..

Either I have been extremely lucky in my online dealings or we just seem to have the 0.001% affected all in one place on this site.
No I don’t know that is the number, just a figure I used for an example.
Last couple days I have probably made 30 online transactions from various sites.
Let’s face it, it is now an online world and sticking your head in the sand is not going to change the facts.

I ain’t Skeered!

Treating the WHOLE internet as just a space where there is nothing but evil intent is depressing in my view.

Of course there are plenty of sharks out there who if they turned their talents to something productive to society would lift all of civilization up and one must be wary and careful and perform your own due diligence.

That is no reason imho to have a Debbie downer on the complete system.

Just saying.

Quite a depressing viewpoint Schubert.

May I ask if you have had a bad experience that would lead to such?
Like stolen identity, credit card hacks etc.
No details obviously but just curious as to what has led to such a downbeat attitude on the internet as a whole.
Thanks

I guess it all depends on how often you buy anything here and/ or how badly you really want it!
No big deal to me to disable my vpn, usually have to when in hotels anyway as mostly do not work with hotel wireless networking.
