"AT Audiogon" "ON Audiogon" Help

Sitting in my chair responding to a fellow Audiogon member I came to a pause..... one finger on the letter "A" the other, on the "O". "What is it?" I ask myself. I need your opinions fellow members. Here's my example
"You can buy cable at Audiogon"
"You can buy cable on Audiogon"
Your votes please.

I respond humbly to this most significant of questions; it is possible to be on AudiogoN, but I have never been 'at' AudiogoN. To be 'at' a place requires being in the physical location. Being 'on' AudiogoN means accessing their website, or as previously mentioned, being logged 'on.'

"AT" would probably be an appropriate way of putting it if you locate the physical server and steal the cables from the back of the box, but please dont do that, im looking to see if anybody has had experience with seismic bolts on another thread.

How about "via" or "through"

Ah, but Nrchy, can you really be "on" Augiogon either? Notwithstanding the common usage of "logging on", can you really stand on it or sit on it if "it" (Audiogon) only exists to the end user electronically? Maybe we're "in" Audiogon! That would seem a bit more cosmic - as in "in outerspace" and by extension, "in cyberspace".
