Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon.....


Obviously the majority of posters are seeking help making decisions about purchases, but there exists an underlying group of regular contributors and it is to these folks that I address this question. I'll start -

I love this hobby and music. I've gotten valuble help over the years, as well as having been skinned by opportunists and my own imagination. When I discovered this site a few years ago it appeared to be an excellent place for me to help those whom I can to enjoy the hobby as I do and, at the same time, provide a few with warnings about certain pitfalls and myths. I do not work in the industry nor do I sell product (not even my own stuff - you have to see my closet!) My reward comes on those few occasions when I know I have helped some one or even rarer occasions when some one takes a moment to say thanks.

Why do you post?

Hey Newbee great post to bring back.

So many in this hobby have few if any people to ask and share opinions, excitement, and experience so this is somewhat of an oasis. When I have a question I post it, an answer I offer it, I also post harmless jabs and smartass remarks (we all disagree or are skeptical every now and then) it is all about balance, I spend alot of time talking with others on phone and internet sharing, asking, and learning.....and having a bit of fun doing it.
Not too many of us have friends that care, family that will listen or even support this passion, it can be a very solitary hobby and too often is, so having this and other forums are a great little club where we can all be ourselves and that is a great thing to have......IMHO.
