Don't do me any favors
Audiogon does not have to remove entire threads simply to protect me from reading others opinions. I'm a grown-up now and can decide for myself.
There are no PM's on this forum. There are DM's. They're read to prevent those who would circumvent the buying and selling rules.
Their ball, their rules.
Don't shoot the messenger!
Just calling it what it is. And I agree with you. That admin message should read 'direct' not 'private'.
