This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.

Hi Clearthink:
If only the moderators would act accordingly. As long as they permit Audiotroy to sell, I will continue to exercise my right to comment.

Wow. My post criticizing Audiotroy for taking over and dominating threads for salesmanship here was removed. I don't know why as there were no curse words nor were there insults.  But Audiotroy must have seen it before it was removed which caused him to launch into further bloviation. Does anyone actually read his posts? He reminds me of Bo. By the way, where is Bo? Compared to Audiotroy, Bo is actually quite tolerable. 

Audiotroy:
I do not personally dislike you and I've never met Troy who is apparently your alter ego. But your inability to curb your salesmanship is bothersome as are your long winded defenses to why you cannot or will not stop. Your belief is that you are not selling but doing a service to posters by enlightening them about the brands you carry.
 As I've said too many times--if every dealer behaved like you, there would be no Audiogon as everybody who is not in the industry would leave for other sites and the dealers would be arguing about who carries the best gear for a particular application. But then again, I know of no other dealer, manufacturer or industry rep who does what you do here.
Rather, they generally enlighten the conversation with information and DO NOT talk about what they sell or compare what they sell to anything else unless requested. 

Brevity is the soul of wit
