Goodbye Everyone

@elliottbnewcombjr I get your loss for the demise of DPreview, I am a member and have chose to not rush into another forum where I can indulge myself with Z System Info'.

As for the Gon, I attempt to address the OP inquiry, only intend to share on experiences already encountered, and occasionally experiences to be planned for.

Most importantly I write in a hope the views into a thread are catered for, as there are usually numerous more onlookers that contributors, it is my hope I can crate something the onlooker from the present or future finds something offered up by myself to be a stimulation. 

Every so often a forum member will give a shout out for something that you have made known, and that is, when directed towards myself, is plentiful as a gesture of goodwill when received.    

Waddaya mean A'gon isn't a "warm" forum? That's a pile of crap! Get the hell outta here!

That bites. I hate when folks leave. I even miss MC!
Good luck Elliot. 

@wolf_garcia  yes sir! gone gone gone

The ‘Music’ threads are more rewarding and less confusing than equipment threads.  I agree that this forum can be uninviting, confusing and combative.  It also contains much good advice, but filtering and separating useful from misguided can be difficult.
