Thirty Days in the Hole

Not really. An Audiogon account provides user access to both, so a user gets to have at both in any way they see fit, as long as they do not violate rules or break laws. The forum is the obvious and most direct way to conjure up business on the sales side if desired.  Understanding that most close connection between the two is key to understanding a lot of what goes on in the forum.   Just follow the money...

Just hope MC's not a victim of Covid considering his being anti-vax and working in the medical profession.
 

As I understand it he was released from his position for not being vaccinated.

He did all his posts on Agon from work. 

Jerry you sure know a lot about MC. I though I was nosey. AND I am. Where are you getting this stuff? Do you work for "The Enquirer"?

Good Lord! Gladys Kravitz. :-)

Lost his Job, because he refused to get vaxxed? He did ALL his post from work? OK you say so.. 

So the pictures of his room is actually where he use to work? Did he take it with him? I bet he took his lava lamp at least.

I gotta go out and fix the elephant, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, crocodile, tyrannosaurus rex, and velociraptor fence.. It's lookin' a little ragged.
BTW on my spaceship. 

I'll settle for the second page of "The Globe" right next to "Ops Octomom goin' for a cool dozen".

i too have been on a-gon since the beginning... there is another thread about forum posters with hidden agendas

longstanding participants like almarg, oregonpapa, tvad, even ralph/atmasphere separate out their contributions here in discussion threads from any activities of buying or selling used gear on the listing part of the site (as do i)

i’m not naive about life, or about following the money - my angle on this is about the integrity of idea exchange and info sharing in the forum, versus commercial endeavor in the listings section (which for a-gon is the money maker, no doubt)...the distinction between the two parts is the different missions - this distinction is important, worth preserving, worth defending from those who blur the line and try to take advantage...

perhaps we are agreeing, just coming at the reality of the matter from different angles

ah @jjss49 gotcha.

Yes I agree that is how it should be. Just pointing out that there is nothing that enforces that. Levels of integrity will vary. People should be aware. It’s a business at the core though so anything deemed good for business ie sales that is legal  will be tolerated on the forum. At least that has been my observation. Cheers!
