The best and worst Audiogon poster's

Hi Brulee; My vote(s) go to ALL AudiogoN members that have the maturity, knowledge, discipline, and character to make pleasant, courteous, intelligent posts (and threads) on audio subjects of interest-- even when there is significant disagreement on the subject material. AudiogoN can be a great site. Cheers. Craig.

........and no, I'm certainly not perfect in this regard myself-- but it is a personal challenge. Craig.

I'd like to thank those above who mentioned I made some "good posts"-- I respect each of you too. I choose not to not list specific indviduals because, as Trelja noted, my memory is short too, and there are so many good posts that I'm sure I'd miss many. As to "bad" posters-- anyone that berates or denigrates another person for no good reason AND-- because you don't like their equipment choice(s) is NOT a good reason to "blast" someone IMHO. Cheers. Craig.

......I would add that I've "met" many on here that I would be pleased to call "friend". Cheers again. Craig.

Hi Eldragon; The Garfish or "Gar" is a long, slender fish of U.S. temperate waters; a fast and fierce predator. And an honorable fish, IMHO. Cheers. Craig.

Albert; thanks for the fun comments re: "Gar". Never really meant to be secretive about my last name-- Garland, but AudiogoN kind of encourages User Names. In athletics, college, and early professional years my nickname was "Gar" and sometimes Garfish. As to AudiogoN posts, I've had a few "heated exchanges" with others, but I try to avoid them and much prefer "pleasant" . You do "pleasant" better than anyone on here. Cheers. Craig Garland.

John_1: thanks for the kind words. But you've got to know that YOU too are certainly a credit to this forum for your indomitable sense of humor and open mind. I've got to say that adding adding Carl to your "good" list is a class act-- and I agree. The "Forum" would be a less intertesting and more boring place without Carl. Cheers, and Happy New Year to all of AudiogoN. Craig.

John & Carl; I am really glad to see you guys last couple of posts-- a good start for 2001. They show class on both your parts IMO. Carl, thanks for the new year salutations and same to you. And I mean that sincerely and hope we can all maintain cordial relations ("Hope springs eternal"-- right?). Cheers. Craig

.........would marrying twin amps be some kind of bigamy?

Good "take" David-- I should have thought of that as I lived in Mormon country for awhile:>). Cheers and Happy New Year.
