Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon.....

Obviously the majority of posters are seeking help making decisions about purchases, but there exists an underlying group of regular contributors and it is to these folks that I address this question. I'll start -

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.

Why do you post?

Beheme, Thank you for your observation. That helped a lot. I have felt for some time that I have strayed a long way from my original objective and it was time to move on. I do not believe the collective knowledge of the A-gon will be diminished by my absence, at least it will never be noticed.

Good luck all.

That has to be one of the very rare times I find myself in disagreement with you, Newbee. I'd say a great many, both new and longtime members will miss your valued contributions. I certainly speak for myself in saying so. That said, I do understand very well that life is short and there are far more rich and meaningful things to devote one's time and energy to. Thank you for your contributions here, Newbee.

All the Best,

Marco

Wait a minute! Did I miss something? Is Newbee leaving us? Please say it's not so. If you make any changes, just change your username. You definitely aren't a "newbee" regarding things "audio".
