New Years Resolutions

I hope everyone that reads this has a safe and prosperous New Year in 2005.

My New Year's resolution is to try and be nicer and more helpful to people in the coming year. I hope to be able to achieve those goals and do so in a calmer, more mild mannered method than i have used in the past. This is a new year coming up and i'd like to start with a clean slate. As such, i'm asking those that i've offended or argued with in the past to forgive me for my past discretions, comments and attitudes. Regardless of whether someone is willing to do that for me, i'll do that for those that i've held grudges with and / or gotten into disputes with. As Mr Mellencamp says on his latest release "grace, mercy and forgiveness will help a man walk tall" and that is what i would like all of us here to be able to do i.e. walk tall with our heads held high amongst friends.

Best wishes to the Agon family. I hope we can all have a safer and more enjoyable life in 2005. Happy New Year!!! Sean

Damn, and I was looking forward to some good juicy bloodbath's here on the Gon'. Does this mean you're disbanding the Audiogon division of "Fight Club"? What's going to happen to my bookmaking business without you Sean? Think of all the money we were raking in and for god's sake please, reconsider your resolutions!

Don't worry bout me; I'll find another rabble-rouser to step into your shoes! I'd do it myself but I ain't got the smarts you got. Maybe TWL or Newbee could be enticed when they see the spread sheet from our take last year, eh?

Seriously, good on'ya man! Look forward to the kinder, gentler Sean!

Now you're getting the idea Newbee. But you've got to throw in a few real personal jabs to get things really going. I liked the audio left hook you threw in there. Oh yes, I see much promise here!

Marco (OK, there's that extra 20 lbs or so that I've been dragging around that I'll be getting rid of this year...)

Man, there's an awful lot of apologizing going on here. I feel some tears
welling up...like when someone told me about Ol' Yeller right here on
the Gon'! Great thread, started with good intentions, and I really don't
think anyone doubts that. Thanks Sean. Made me think about my own
smart-ass self just a bit...how some of my input is rude and obnoxious
just for the sake of an isolated smile here and there. I thought about
how many folks just don't want to hear the likes of me spoutin' off like
this right and left...never knowing where my moniker will show up next,
befouling threads like this one with the very best of intentions. And I
thought perhaps I should quit being such a smart ass and get serious
about audio equipment as my New Year's resolution...Nah, screw it...I'll
just keep workin' on loosing the 20lbs and keep on yankin' the binary
monkey till they kick me outta here!

Happy New Year everyone! Love ya! Mean it!
