Jayctoy, thanks for the kind words. it's nice to be missed. :)
I do cruise through the 'Gon from time to time to see what's going on here. Audiogon seems to be plenty active. and i occasionally post when I see a subject I can relate to. many times interesting stuff is already hot and heavy and it's hard to jump into the middle of it and be relevant. if I was here more often I would get more involved.
I think high end web forums are about relationships as much as anything. you tend to hang where you most feel comfortable, know people, and be part of a community.
in recent years I've posted stuff on my audiogon system page but it did not get much attention so I stopped doing that for a couple of years now. maybe things have evolved here enough now that if I start doing that again it will get more involvement. I certainly post plenty of new stuff on other forums I could also post here.
again, thanks.
