New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?

I have been trying to be more involved in the forums over the last couple weeks, and I'm noticing a trend already. It seems that when someone asks for a recommendation for a piece of equipment, they provide little to no room/system context. In a couple threads, I've asked the OP to provide more information, such as system information, preferences, requirements, and the like, and ended not getting much more information. The thread ends up being a running list of members' favorite gear, whether it really helps the OP or not. Is this the norm? If so, I'll probably stop trying to be more involved.

Yes, it's the norm.

He wrote the most concise, detailed and helpful posts here on Audiogon.

I might be ignorant on this but it would be helpful if there was a notification when someone posted in a thread that one is taking part in. I have seen people refer to me months later. By that time it’s moot.

@bubba12 - you will have to follow a thread to get emails on it. Then double-check your email preferences for the Forums.

I have hung around here for years and posted very little. I am 63 and love music first and foremost but finally was able to build a moderate system that sounds good to me.

This form has been a tremendous source of knowledge, you just have to steer around some opinionated bs but such is life. I would not have purchased several pieces over the years if not for learning about them here and on other forums.
