It's been said before, but I'll say it again...

I'm continually surprised at the lack of common courtesy in Audiogon transactions. What happened to, "Hi, I'm interested in your..." or, "Would you accept..." Instead, it's "$900 shipped to Canada." End of email. I'm not one for excessive formality, but I think a little friendliness and complete sentences go a long way.

Once in a while I'll have a great exchange with another Audiogoner whether it leads to a sale or not, but this seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Aren't audiophiles supposed to be a friendly bunch?

Just a rant...
