New Years Resolutions

Hey Sean, figured that since you posted on the Asylum, as well, I might as well do the same here. I realize this has become a "how great and noble is Sean's resolution" thread...just fool'n with you again. (already mentioned your avoidance to answering my questions about the Ayre disc, you asked me to post on the 'gon, so I won't go there again) Anyway, your resolution is noble. Now, if you can only walk the talk. I don't believe in public resolutions. I keep them between me and God. Much more humbling. For me, that is...it's my fellow man, that let's me know if I'm walking the talk--my strength usually rests in what I don't say. it's a battle for me as you can see...peace, warren.

Warren: I by no means started this thread in search of praise or recognition. As stated, i wanted to clear the air for all to see and i had hoped that others would join with me in making public proclamations. Making such a proclamation for all to see is a constant reminder for us to do better and try harder. I'm just hoping that i can live up to my resolution, cuz otherwise, everyone knows that i've screwed up. Even if i do "slip" or "screw up", it wouldn't be the first time : )

Other than that, i just saw the thread that you're talking about. I know that we discussed this via email quite a while back. You told me that you were going to start a thread about this subject as i had requested. A short time later, you sent me an email telling me that you had posted a thread on this subject. When i checked, i saw no such thread. My guess is that the couple of times that i checked, the thread had not appeared yet due to the time delay in moderation. You sent me an email a while back asking me to look at the thread about the Ayre disc, but there was no link to which thread you were talking about. Having seen this post, i checked through all of your personal threads and found it now. I will respond to it within 24 hours time, as i've got to leave the house now.

For future reference, if someone wants me to respond to a thread, please forward a link to the specific thread. On top of that, if you send me an email and you don't hear back from me in a reasonable amount of time, please try contacting me again. Between the amount of emails i receive pertaining to work, various audio forums, other hobbies that i have, etc... some things get lost in the shuffle. On top of that, emails are sometimes "lost in cyberland" and never show up. As such, if one doesn't hear from me within a few days at most, PLEASE drop me another note. I'm really not trying to avoid anyone and i do my best to get back to people on a timely basis. It's just that sometimes, there's more on my plate than i can keep up with. Sean

PS... Unless one prefers to have a private conversations, i prefer to discuss things publicly. This gives others the opportunity to both learn from and contribute to the knowledge pool that is Audiogon. This is not to mention that someone can correct mistakes that i might make or facts that i overlook. I'm not perfect, ya know??? : ) Sean

Sean, You've just failed the first test of your resolution. Those who would chose to rule, lead by example but never complain when folks don't follow their lead! Back into the pits (digital if you like) you go.

But, in the spirit of your post, I resolve to be more humble in 2005. :-)

Now you're getting the idea Newbee. But you've got to throw in a few real personal jabs to get things really going. I liked the audio left hook you threw in there. Oh yes, I see much promise here!

Marco (OK, there's that extra 20 lbs or so that I've been dragging around that I'll be getting rid of this year...)

Newbee, you're dead on...hey, we're all human....there's the problem in a nutshell....let's have fun this year...
