Happy Holidays to ALL

I know that I have been MIA for a while, but the world is changing and I am trying to keep up.. PANT.... PANT.... PANT......

When I logged back onto this site, I felt -home- straight away.

Yeah, there is a ton of great information and ideas being shared here and lots of good stuff to buy and sell; but to me, that's not the REAL VALUE of AudioGon - It's the fellowship, the friendships, the commarade that is found here and outside (because of friendships established here).

I wanted to send out a shout to all my friends here and wish you all the VERY BEST. You mean a lot to me and this year, more than ever, I feel a need to make sure that people know that.

I propose to launch this thread - where we just get to "talk" about how the friendships and learnings made here and just feel good about that.

Hi AJ, and thanks; I too have made many Audiogon friends in the last couple of years or so, and I certainly count you among them. Cheers and Happy Holidays to All. Craig

Welcome back! I have seen a few posts-from you- and it is weird here, however long you are gone, you are always welcomed back with open arms and it is as though you have never left. I think us audiophiles are the next step in human evolution, we are so kind to each other(my experiences at least), always willing to help each other and always looking for the best! Hope things have slowed down a little in your life, things happen(as they did to me towards the begining of August-read: car accident)but the crowd is always here to let you know what they think-even if you don't want to hear it!

angela, my dear friend, how right you are. in so many ways. the world is changing, for many of us very personally. my bride lost her mom this past june after a lengthy and painful battle with cancer. we sure do miss her. all of us who are so very proud to be counted among the inhabitants of the usa lost a part of ourselves on 09/11/01. some, of course, lost much more than others. tho it may sound trite, or even contrived, this is the truth: i've found comfort on this site nearly every day. i've been privileged to have gained so many "audiogon friends" over these past couple of years. we are a diverse, highly opinionated, outspoken segment of society who can identify one another, even if the rest of the world can't and likely don't care to. thank you all for contributing your questions, your answers, your wisdom and your humor to these discussion threads.

may you share a happy holiday with those you love. and may 2002 be for all of us a better year than the last, filled with prosperity, understanding and, above all, peace. -kelly
