How did you hear about Audiogon?

My audio experience has definately changed (most of the time for the better) ever since I started logging on to Audiogon. I am curious how did you fellow audiogoners heard about this website? I know I didn't hear about it from any of my local dealers. They always give me this dirty look when ever I mention about this website while visiting their stores. Also, I am wonder how they came up with the name Audiogon? The name probably reflects more of a selling site rather than an audio forum. If you had a chance to name this site what would you call it? I think I would call it, www.audioswapmeet.com, just to put some sense of humor into it. One a side note, I used to logon a lot the first few months after discovering the website. My wife started to wonder if I had a online girlfriend. I told her most of the guys here are like me, who spends more time playing with their equipments than with the opposite sex. (keep it clean guys)

Let me start by saying that I heard of this site when searching on the web for some product infomation. What started as a personal knowledge journey turned into a journey costing thousands of dollars.

Ironically enough, from a local A/V dealer. I was trying to sell a Denon HT receiver so that I could buy the latest upgraded receiver from him. He wanted to sell the new receiver so bad that he told me to go on Audiogon to sell the older one. Obviously I already had the upgrade fever, but after doing a deal or two on Audiogon and realizing how easy it was to swap out components and continue to upgrade at a minimal cost, it spiraled out of control.

I still occasionally buy gear from him, but only when I know I will have the unit for a long time and want to make sure I get the factory warranty. Even then, I won't buy from him unless I can get a screaming deal on a demo or B-stock item.
Audiogon spoils you, and I mean that in a good way.
