Audiogoners Anonymous?


The first step is knowing that you have a problem.

And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.

Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?

I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?

Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I hope my wife doesn't see this thread. She won't get the joke, and think we all really are sick. This is a joke, right? I'm not really sick am I ? What's a few hours a day? Ok, maybe more than a few hours on weekends. I just don't want to miss that good deal on that amp that I can't afford right now. I just want to see it listed cheap. Then I would know if I had the money I would be able to get a good deal on it . Not sick. Just fun. Right?

I'm at 13 years in the program and feel I am much better off waking up with a new amp. than what I used to wake up with. The look of disgust on my wife when I walk in the door with a large cardboard box has me chasing high end cables for a while. Thank God I finally stopped playing with the credit card. Some of the deals...I HAVE TO HAVE THIS MAGIC BOX.......IT WILL KEEP ME HAPPY FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES!
