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 .

A local joint to hang around, Sean? Really? Perhaps it would be interesting to the readers here to know that you couldn't even bother to respond to my email, which was my attempt to strike up an audiophile friendship with a fellow Chicagoan. With this in mind, I would hardly nominate Sean for an altruism award.

Kevziek: Do you know how many emails a day that i get ? Do you realize that not all emails always reach their intended destinations ? Have you ever thought that both servers and end users run into computer problems and experience glitches ?

Having said that, it sometimes takes me several days to get back to some folks that email me with casual conversation. Those that are looking for specific help in a situation, i try to get back to ASAP since they might be in a time-sensitive situation. Even with that, i sometimes am slow to respond on follow-ups due to trying to have a personal life, listen to some music, make some progress on my various projects, contribute / respond to these forums, etc...

This doesn't even take into account the fact that i also run a business and receive emails pertaining to that aspect of my life. At one point in time, i was averaging appr 85 emails a day that were work related. Since that is how i make my living, those take precedence over most everything else. Bare in mind that this does not include sorting through spam, etc...

As such, i'm sorry if your email got lost in the shuffle. I'm sure that there are plenty out here that can attest that i at least "try" to work with them on email. I might not be the fastest and i might need a few "prods" here and there, but i do what i can. I am sorry if you feel "slighted" or "blown off". Did you ever think to send another email or two or post a request for me to contact you in these forums "just in case" i was having email problems ?

With posts like this and having to deal with dozens of customers every day, it makes me NOT want to deal with people on a face to face basis. For the love of the "hobby" or not, it is impossible to please everyone all the time. Sean

Sean is a gentleman. You can disagree with him, and debate a point without being labeled as an unbelieving idiot.
