Sometimes its kind of like watching television and being on it at the same time. I like that, and I like that outside status of individual members is minimized in interactions. Who one is is what one posts. And I get to back and look at my old posts, and see how I've changed and try to improve on my attitudes. And who can forget the assortment of characters who come and go or stay?
Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon.....

I love this hobby and music. I've gotten valuble help over the years, as well as having been skinned by opportunists and my own imagination. When I discovered this site a few years ago it appeared to be an excellent place for me to help those whom I can to enjoy the hobby as I do and, at the same time, provide a few with warnings about certain pitfalls and myths. I do not work in the industry nor do I sell product (not even my own stuff - you have to see my closet!) My reward comes on those few occasions when I know I have helped some one or even rarer occasions when some one takes a moment to say thanks.
