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.

The way I look at it is that many times, others benefit more than the m.i.a. op and also, years later, some random person will benefit from reading an archived ghread also.

Most of the time, the op has already made thier minds up and just want positive reinforcement about thier deicision. If the advice differs from what they want to do, they'll just do what they want anyways

Unfortunate but untrue.

They probably won't - neither will Wavetouch.

Zd542, Very true. And normal human behavior in everything not just audio.
Our subconscious makes the decision and we then rationalize it.

An interesting yet utterly pointless thread. Also, have you heard Wavetouch speakers? They cure dandruff and eliminate dust particles from the air. A must hear...
