How did you hear about Audiogon?

My audio experience has definately changed (most of the time for the better) ever since I started logging on to Audiogon. I am curious how did you fellow audiogoners heard about this website? I know I didn't hear about it from any of my local dealers. They always give me this dirty look when ever I mention about this website while visiting their stores. Also, I am wonder how they came up with the name Audiogon? The name probably reflects more of a selling site rather than an audio forum. If you had a chance to name this site what would you call it? I think I would call it, www.audioswapmeet.com, just to put some sense of humor into it. One a side note, I used to logon a lot the first few months after discovering the website. My wife started to wonder if I had a online girlfriend. I told her most of the guys here are like me, who spends more time playing with their equipments than with the opposite sex. (keep it clean guys)

Let me start by saying that I heard of this site when searching on the web for some product infomation. What started as a personal knowledge journey turned into a journey costing thousands of dollars.

I started at Audioreview about 3 years ago buying & selling gear & from there found this place. When AR changed their format I stopped going there & have done almost all of my on-line deals here since. I still use my local dealer but A-gon has opened up many doors for me & allowed me to try gear I would otherwise not been able to.

I also remember reading one of the papers Sean mentions. I think it was based in Crewe, VA & since I'm not too far from there, had a early look at it. Never did buy or sell anything through it though.

Never thought much about the name but I think too much deviation from it & some people wouldn't be able to make the connection. Sorta like when Blue Cross changed its name to Athena. Now where did they come up with that? How about Audiogone? (meaning both the item & your mind are), or is that what it means already?
