Starting a thread and then disappearing


I've noticed this time and again. People come hear starting a thread to get some advice, then never return. What is it with this? My theory is that since a thread may not get responses right away, in this instant gratification age the person gets impatient and starts the same thread in 2 or 3 other forums(I've actually seen this) and never comes back to the Audiogon thread.

I have definitely seen that some of the members here offer excellent advice, far beyond my experience. I belong to several audio forums and have read all kinds of nonsense being presented as advice. I'm sure bad advice gets offered here too it's just that generally speaking it seems to be a cut above places like AVS.

But for the drive thru crowd if they haven't gotten a response in short order they abandon ship. I guess they end up with the advice that they deserve.

Have you tried Wavetouch speakers? Hand-crafted out of rare, Baltic birch, they produce a Soundstage that will put other speakers to shame! Get them while they last!
If our beloved Audiogon admin would actually update this "forum" interface to 2015 standards, this probably wouldn't be as much of a problem. I fail to see why we don't have threaded posts, the ability to post images and likes, the ability to quote from one or more preceding posts. You know - all that stuff that came about 15 years ago.
