How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?

Hi everyone,
Just a question that's been in my head for a little bit. How important do you folks feel this forum is to the audio industry at large in the Ensligh speaking countries?  I ask because I often see some taking it way too seriously, and personally.

I mean, I know times are tough, being a boutique audio manufacturer is not easy at any level in the audio industry, so I can really understand how negative buzz for your product can directly relate to your livelihood.
On the other hand, it's just A'gon. I doubt most audiophiles even come here very often.
What do you all think?

Best,

E

One of the retailers in Denver cautioned me about Audiogon because he felt some of the information was not always accurate.

Oh, dear lord, but this is true for forums and dealers in general as well.

 Paradigm is also not mentioned which indicates that is not audiophile as well.


I'd like to think of Audiogon as broader than "HEA" and I find the brand snobbery game works more for certain manufacturers than it does for the enthusiasts, so I don't really pay attention. 

Best,

All I mean is, there are a lot of forums, magazines and dealers.

Sure A'gon seems like we have a few folks, but is it just a small echo chamber? How big is our footprint on the national or global landscape?
