What say you: Is this fair, or AITA?
Audiogon reads all private messages I’ve had plenty of totally innocuous messages discussing gear flagged in the past. @jerryg123 used to send me obscene hate mail.  It didn’t bother me, but when I copied and pasted and posted some of it I gues... 
Movie/film suggestions.
The Departed is on right now, and I've seen it enough that I am not going to watch it tonight (particularly with commercials), but what a great movie with a great starring cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson), and a great supportin... 
Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement
I am not a guru, but although I’d think experiment with both if you have the outlets available (or enough speaker cable) I’d THINK having the sidewalls but having whatever is in the dining area as a rear wall would be the better option. I’d THINK... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
FYI ... Just so you know, yes, I was there. I joined. I went. So don’t tell me I don’t know what a draft dodger is and don’t make stupid attempts at changing the definition.  @gdaddy1 , you are ridiculous and you do not know what a draft dodger... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
@mylogic , this is off the track of your OP, but kind of pertains to me trying to describe why I do not like the music I do not like. Anyway, back in the '90s and through some of the '00s my dad would come a couple of thousand miles to visit us f...

 but they produced some Hella catchy tunes thatre still anthemic 40 years later.  @simao  that may be the reason that going back in time I truly enjoyed cranking it up and listening to them.  And as I typed a few posts ago, despite some of my b...

@mahgister has the same logic as you. That's scary.  I may have to reevaluate.

. . . I  don’t find their music to be honest or dishonest.  I just don’t find their music to be anything at all.  And I guess somewhere I must have missed the implication that you were falling in love with me.  
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
I won’t take any insult from that.  But I cannot precisely put my finger on and articulate why I no longer like REO/Boston/Kansas/Styx/Alice Cooper/BTO/Nazareth/Head East/AC DC/etc except to say I no longer hear anything at all in the music that t...

What is so irritating about REO Speedwagon? Not that you were addressing this to me, but I'll chime in anyway and offer a short answer:  I used to listen to REO and Styx and Kansas and Boston and bands such as those in the late '70s and early '...

+1 @hilde45 . Gotcha, @mylogic .  I am not promoting anything, just commenting.  
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
So seeing as you are a newbie and out of interest l read your previous posts. After reading all 4 of them, my opinion is that REO was an odd choice as it has speed in it. This post aroused my interest, @mylogic , and I will only say (from a bit... 
Rick Derringer R.I.P
I am gonna watch "Hang on Sloopy" on Youtube again. If you do, the dancing girl is Liz Brewer, Rick's girlfriend.  Not trying to turn this thread into an argument, @boxcarman , but a while back ago I watched that video on youtube and then I sta... 
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
I told my dog he is in my will That is commendable, @abnerjack .    
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
. . . every night before I go to bed I tell my dogs, "I'll see you guys in the morning if all four of us are lucky."
