@roxy54 :
I've been here since 1998, and back then this was a much more courteous site, and there was rarely anything openly hostile happening, and political commentary was pretty much non existent.
I agree with your sentiment. I have been reading Audiogon forums since early 2000 (member since 2004), and things have deteriorated significantly over the past few years. Away from audio. Some of the deranged individuals posting here, have nothing to do with audio, as can be seen by their Audiogon feedback (or lack thereof), and are here just to wreck havoc. Nothing more. Typical troll behavior
