Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?

that happens when you use “ bad words” like

email address

dot com

phone

they are doing this to stop off line transactions 

and i try and explain to them that is not hard to send a member a email address or other info, but they don’t get it.

trying to send a link or info to another member via pm is hard.

Audiogon is a private company; it is not run by a government. They can have whatever rules they like.

If you do not like it, you are free to not use Audiogon. 

I know all the things you guys posted. I was having some fun at A'gon's expense. Maybe I will get banned and save me some time from posting.

What I posted on a DM was, "search for this person's DSP book on Amazon" 

"Amazon" is a restricted word. 

So we can't talk about the rainforest or the river or the women warriors, huh? 🤣
