Audiogon is a great site - we would not criticise its minor imperfections so much if we did not already value it highly - we would have just walked away, like we did with the other sites. I see its growth as inevitably causing its focus to diminish. But I don't see it as a problem if we learn to use it like a newspaper - noone reads everything yet everyone gets to read what is of interest to them, most of the time. I know what you mean Dekay - as I am sure you have noticed, I have gotten drawn into some meaningless jousts, but I think I have learned I don't enjoy it and so I think I have kicked the habit. Good luck.
Is it cabin fever or what???
Am I mistaken, or lately I see a lot of posts that seemingly are only started for the wrong reasons? They seem incredibly antagonistic, basically just being thrown out to garner a reaction. Somewhat like yelling "FIRE" in a movie theater. I try to refrain from such ridiculous threads, but they sure seem to draw a lot of responses. Some of these threads have been the most flat boring reading I have seen on this site. And the other reaction I have is, "Who cares?". Even if these people did believe what they are saying, the only reactions they engender are anger or boredom. Does anyone else share my opinions?
