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

I found this site by accident roughly 6m ago. I was looking for good used at a reasonable price.  I know zip about equipment or room effects etc. but I like to listen to music. 
What I found heartwarming in these dark times was the willingness of most members to offer sincere valuable advice and I might add some good deals.  I recognized that regulars here get requests like mine every day. I also understand from reading their post they could easily brush me off like a fly for my fundamental lack of knowledge as I know it must get boring. I ended up purchasing my components here and after burn-in ( new used and local) I have a big smile on my face.  I am extremely grateful for the member's time and willingness to share.
By the way, I just started looking up posts by those who posted into the thousands and it's like I hit a motherload of insightful stuff but as been said adnauseam as with anything you have to separate the chaff from the wheat, but lots of wheat to eat here. Thanks again guys.
In closing give it some more time and check out the senior member's posts. 

@daveman2...You'll find the occasional thread that IS informative, has cognitive clarity, and may be useful...and may even be entertaining in the process.  Like many forum sites, one has to winnow the chaff to garner the wheat....
Many respond (imho) with what they've owned, their experiences with X,Y, Z, and how it has been a + or (eventually) a - to them after finding the next best thing....and such is life.
Best is to just 'lurk' and glean from others' experiences of what they've owned, why they enjoyed it, what drew them to it, why they dumped it and moved on, or whatever you look to learn from their thrashing about.
And then, there's those who've found The Answer to their Search.
That, in itself, may be the Answer to your particular interests....

I stay away from suggesting Anything to anyone.  I haven't been exposed to all the potential equipment, speakers, and various 'n sundry means and methods that one can apply to things audio.  I don't have the time, the disposable income, nor the desire to endlessly do so.

I amuse self with what I can afford towards what I like to experience in my own space, flawed as it may be.  Perfection is a Myth, the answer to which is subject to ones' own predilections..... and budget.

Do what you like, and what sounds Good to You, in your given space to do so, with that which does so.  Yes, it may take time and trial to accomplish such.  But that's half the entertainment value of doing so.

Welcome to the Chase.  You Will tire of it, eventually. ;)
Have fun in the meanwhile, J

I ordered this today...

'Nosey'?  Not 'zactly.....Noisey, Yes. *G*;)

This is all interesting but what should I buy...?

This is not a good forum for true beginners.  Someone has to have enough knowledge to ask specific questions and than know enough to weed through the responses.  It can be confusing because so many people responding have their own biases.  It's not as if they have ill intentions.  They just think they know what's right because that what they have done and they generalize.  And I would agree that so many posts do not include enough system and listener information to make an informed response.  But that doesn't stop forum users from offering their advice anyway.
