Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?

Sean is one of the smartest people I have been lucky enough to communicate with. Some may think I've gone too far but he may just be a genius. In my work I communicate with many engineers and scientists. Very few have impressed me with encyclopedic knowledge and the ability to assimilate and then communicate it like Sean. No doubt he posts some big numbers on the IQ tests. Sorry if I made you blush Sean. Thanks for all the help you have given me and others.

I guess Sean has been banned from Audiogon.

It's true Slappy. Sean revealed a dealer who was less than up front about disclosing his intentions. Then an exchange of accusations turned the dealers thread into an integrity debate. Then Sean took out an ad on Audiogon that apparently irritated the administrator who allegedly banned Sean from the Gon. Last I heard, Sean has been reinstated but has not been willing to post. He would like to see Audiogon require dealers to be identified.
I communicated with Sean recently. He has posted some at the Asylum but is mostly just enjoying the music.
Your story about the humping dogs was very funny.

Eldartford, The integrity debate was on the Dynamics vs. Electrostatics thread started by Lrsky. He started the thread asking the question about the differences in the two. As the thread was picking up steam, Sean gleened from Lrsky's posts that he intended to sell a brand of electrostats that he had been espousing.
As you might have guessed, Sean took him to the wood shed and taught him a lesson. Lrsky's fellow dealers came to his aid and much emphasis was placed on the fact that Lrsky had decided to become a dealer after starting the thread. I agreed with Sean that Lrsky should have revealed his dealer status immediately when it happened. Lrsky has held some serious positions at major high end companies. He should be held to a higher standard and that is what Sean did.
What Sean was complaining about to Audiogon was dealers who post and reply on the Gon and don't reveal their business associations/ conflicts of interest. My memory is foggy on this but I think it was stated that Lrsky actually complained to the Gon about Sean. In the end, the thread and Sean were deleted.
I personally visit the site less now that he is gone. I used to enjoy reading his threads and answers that stirred the pot. I actually think Sean was a draw to Audiogon due to his knowledge and controversial stature.
I thought of Sean like a doctor prescribing medication. His prescriptions were usually on target for the problem but the medication wasn't candy coated and often the pills were too big for some to swallow.

Newbee- yes his ad was surely the cause. If in fact Lrsky did complain, that probably wouldn't have been enough to do him in. I heard he had been reinstated after a relatively short suspension also.

Yes like playland at McDonalds the forums are a draw. Losing Sean was like taking away one of the big slides. Now all we can do is play in the ball house and you know how many kids pee in there.
