Is it time to just quit?


Time to just quit?                      
Buying audio stuff?                             
Posting to an empty house?                          
My gut feeling is no one is posting in the regular 'free' threads. Maybe they all are paying to post? I could not know, since I am way too cheap to pay to just post 'exclusive'.  Being natural paranoid, I think everyone is posting over there, not here?                                       
Then I also just hit my limit on credit card Paypal. Now I have to become "verified' or no Paypal.    
This also happened at a fortuitous moment, when I was starting to overspend...             
So no buying OR selling here for me (unless I am willing to get the Paypal CC. Which I have to think about)So maybe the Universe is telling me "Time to quit".???  
Not quit listening to music, just NOT buying more stuff and NOT posting more gibberish.

My interest waxes and wanes depending on a lot of factors that probably have little rational basis--
I quit posting for a while and started my own blog on older records because I felt that the gear centric sites didn’t address a lot of more offbeat music and the music sites didn’t seem to address sonics and different pressings.

But I still post here- I guess my point is that you don’t have to make a decision that is absolute- like "i’m not going to buy any more gear" when you don’t need anything right now. Two months or two years from now, that could change.
The key- to me- is to have fun, learn something and be able to contribute where you can.
As to speaking to an ’empty house’ I think you’ve got people here who like you, aren’t patronizing and maybe that’s as good as it gets, Elizabeth.
I think the powers that be at Audiogon should make certain long time members honorary participants of the Insider Club™ - I vote for Liz, Almarg and Geoff, along with Ralph, Syntax and a whole host of others. That will give it real panache-- so you are getting something for your membership. Should I start a petition? Or a GFMe page? :)
