Why Do You Post?


I come here to poke fun ONLY... No need for tech talk. AG could care less. I'm trying to draw the TROLLS out.. I'm bored.

This is what someone posted in an active thread.  I'm dumbfounded!

I come to Audiogon to learn and share information, keep abreast of audiophile happenings and to gain exposure or insight into music.  I thought I was in the majority camp of users, but based upon the above quote, could be I'm not.

Most of my time is spent working or with my family. The little time I get for a hobby has been dedicated to audio for over a decade now. I am a music lover at heart. 

I have made many mistakes, made poor purchases, wasted money; you know, the well trodden path of the audiofool. 

I post when I think it might help someone else out there who is on the same path to ruin. Still have no idea what I am doing but the journey has had its moments.

We make all of us mistake buying gear... I made many...

Happily it is over...

My best to you....

I've been here over 20 years posting, buying and selling.  I've come a looong way in audio since I started here, and I'm grateful for the kindness, help and patience of the members that have helped me along the way.  I've seen lots of guys come and go.  Some got burned out and left, never to return.  Some have actually died.  Some sold all of their equipment and actually left hifi altogether.  But still, "The 'Gon" soldiers on, and I'm still here....and I'll be here as long as I need advice and ideas about my rig and its improvement.  I'm a jazz fanatic, and I've found lots of kindred spirits here.

"The 'Gon" ain't perfect, but it's still my favorite hifi spot by a mile.

I have enjoyed this forum over the last 11 years. Also the market place. I plan to keep going.

I have made friends. I have learned much. I have shared my audio experience with others. 

I try not to dwell on the negatives, far more positives herein. 

Thanks all!
