Here is my beef

I have enjoyed learning so much about Audio through What's Best Forum and Audiogon over the last 8 years.  I have many new audio friends from around the world as a result of these forums.  In some cases, I want to explore even more information from individuals on certain topics and threads.  Sure you can send an email through Audiogon to individuals but in a lot of cases, I would love to contact this person directly by phone or personal email.  I am not selling products behind Audiogon's back.  I just want to communicate and have a discussion with people on these forums on a more personal level.   I can do it on WBF but not on Audiogon.  They do not allow phone numbers or personal emails.  That sucks.

Oh wait, I have another bitch.  I am functionally blind and in order to send this message, I have to identify traffic signals which I can't frickking see.  That is BS and discriminatory.

Today, I received a direct message (though everyone here calls them PMs) and there it was at the top of the message: don’t try to contact anyone via phone or PM. First time that was ever there. It’s even in a different color so it stands out. But like I
said before, I prefer not to.

And, they did stop using CAPTCHA.

All the best,
Nonoise

Proof that they read every thread. And I’m sure they’re hip to using "dot" in a PM when referring to an email.

Some of my best purchases on Audiogon were a result of a phone call with the seller. One particular seller years ago kept in touch with me.

Can’t you PM and get the recipient to send an email address?
