Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?

A way to upvote / downvote posts might be a good start.

and sans upvote/downvote, not removing comments would be the only fair solution to free speech and a somewhat level playing field. Outrageous, wildly insulting comments remain on these threads forever while fact based comments have been deleted because they hurt someone's feelings - i.e. they are bothered by the truth. 

I would just like a way to filter out those members that post a dozen times into a thread because they can't cogently organize their thoughts into a post, or two.

I could not have said it any better.  I am not a big poster, but I read the discussions daily to maintain what little Audio knowledge I have!  There are very knowledgable audiophiles here, who help so many people, even when many answers are "too" easy.   Some answers require valid questions.  If one cares for a good answer, this forum will help those get in the right direction.  Obviously there are posts such as this, that may stir things up, but it allows me to say thank you to all that help and teach.

You are very much appreciated and respected.

Don't worry folks. Pretty soon texasjerry will lose it like he always has. He always goes out with a bang, cursing, berating, using huge font, etc. Not long after he does that, he'll be banned again.

It might behoove newer members here to take notes (mental or the old fashioned way) so when he does reincarnate himself with a new moniker, that weird feeling that you've heard this tool before but just can't place him will all come to fore and then make sense.

All the best,
