Dealers hijacking the discussions

I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

@p59teitel  +1. I think Johnny provides great information without trying to sell his products. A mark of great character.

@4425 ,
I have be hesitant to respond to this thread, but I have to say that your post is spot on. The dealer in question-'He who must not be named'- is truly becoming an annoyance. 
As I said in an earlier post, there are other dealers on Agon who provide great information without trying to make a sale. Guess where I'll do my buying...

@ctsooner,
Sorry about the Georgia jibe, but you have to admit it was a good game.

And, as far as preamps go, wouldn't an Ayre be a good match for the Vandy amp?

Though I wouldn't disparage anyone for buying a 6 figure car, I find it sad that Wilson speakers depreciate so quickly/badly. Well, I would be sad as a designer.

Why not see if Ayre can mod the integrated to split the amp and pre? I recall you saying they modded it to eliminate the M5-HP.
I think it was Paul McGowen- PS Audio, who said he believes a preamp is still necessary-after many years believing otherwise.
