Audiogoners Anonymous?


The first step is knowing that you have a problem.

And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.

Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?

I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?

Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Go easy on yourselves. Life is but a one time occurance and this type of activity isn't harmful to anyone. At least we have an opportunity to learn valuable information without paying the high price of admission. Even though this is an expensive hobby consider the bucks saved by learning what does work versus finding out on your own.

I log onto Audiogon by 7 am each morning and recheck the forums throughout the day. Sometimes I feel I have something to contribute and other times I don't. It's the people that bring me back. No guilt here.
