Can I nominate Sean please ?

Someone mentioned that Sean was the" Audio Altruist of the Year" in a thread I was reading tonight.This was due to his exhaustive generosity in sharing his knowlege with everyone so unselfishly and so often. I responded in agreement in the thread but felt it should be reintroduced . I have learned more in 6 months reading past discussions he was involved in than 10 years of talking with audio salespeople who ooze misinformation at every gasp and audio journalism with commercial agendas. I too nominate Sir Sean as " Audio Altruist of the Year " . Honorable mentions go out to others who also give of themselves and who I follow as well. These are but a few : Albertporter , Dekay , Detlof , Gunbei , Psychicanimal , TWL , Phasecorrect , Sugarbrie , tok2000 , Tireguy , Mejames , subarguru , zaikesman , Stehno and Mike Lavigne. For those I forgot or left out ; my apologies. So here is a toast to you Sean; may we all stay in touch and be friends .

Wow, I too thought we were gonna nominate Sean for the California Gubenatorial Race, but after reading Sean's "acceptance speech", heheh maybe he should be getting an Oscar or a Nobel Prize!

Brainwater, thanks for putting me in such fine company, I'm very flattered. I have no problem being Gary Coleman to Sean's Arnold Schwarzenegger even if he thinks I have a funny wedged head, heheh. ;-]

Many of the people you mentioned have helped me greatly as well. Who knew when I first got into the high end audio game that I'd be so absorbed by it today. Audiogon has proven to be a great audio sanctuary for sharing information and making friends!

Now if we could only get Sean to post even just one of his four or five systems on Audiogon, we'd have a better idea of his politics so we could get him in the next round of California Gubenatorial debates!

Yes,I'd like to see Seans virtual system also.
It's easy to do and quick.
Lets see what you have Sean.

I always enjoyed Albert Porter's and Kelly's posts....I wish Albert would post more often.
Hey Kelly,come out from the cornfields and say 'hey'

Kudos for recognizing some of the folks that make this site a rewarding and interesting experience. I've learned more here in a few years than I ever thought possible, and equally importantly found out there's a bunch of 'philes out there worse than me! *whew* what a relief hehehehe

As for Kelly, he still has the honour of the best quote:

"you're not an audiophile until you rent a ditch witch for a weekend"

I'm just a newbie that does alot more reading than posting, but I have to agree...Sean is "The Man"...and all the honorable mentions are quite impressive contributors also.
