Should dealers be able to......

Thanks, Tireguy and Unsound, for taking the time to reply.

Tim, you really made my day! Yes I have also enjoyed our interaction here, and I'm glad to hear I haven't crossed the line. I value this forum a great deal (likewise the Asylum), and come here whenever I have time to. Like any other audiophile I sometimes get excited about this or that product or concept, and run the risk of crossing that line when it happens to involve something I sell.

I appreciate your both posting your comments here.

Best wishes!

As a dealer, I would very much like to know if an Audiogon member does not want me to e-mail them. I hate spam as much as any of you. I do e-mail people sometimes, but only when I've read the post and think I have something to offer the person, or want to make a comment that I feel I can't on a forum (for example, I may know that a certain product the person is considering has a bad reputation with repair technicians, but since it's a "rival" product I can't badmouth it in a public forum). Frankly very few of my e-mails result in a sale, but many have resulted in friendly correspondance with a fellow audio geek.

Having learned in this thread that Tireguy and Unsound do not wish to receive e-mail from dealers, I'll try to remember not to e-mail them. But, it would be easier if AudiogoN provided some kind of "opt out" option as described by Sdcampbell. That would be ideal.
