Audiogon needs to openly encourage optionally sharing contact information.
I live in Plainfield, NJ 07062 and use private messages here to get my contact info to others, and have made several new friends from this site: J, J, S, R, D, R
I travel to 3 of their homes, they all come individually to my house or we plan related activities, visit VAS together, shop for LP's, trade links online .... We play their LPs here, mine, plug in their preamp/phono stage/cartridges, hear differences together, and share our content, favorite artists ....
One at a time during covid, I am thinking of planning a shared gathering here.
