Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?

FWIW Sean was not banned because Larsky complained - he was banned because he took out an Ad in which he made some caustic remarks about the establishment. It was very much an "in your face" statement, and as much as I appreciate the help Sean has given folks here, and as much as dislike touts and shills, if I were the owner I would have banned him as well. Some one posted recently that the bann has been lifted - I don't know, but I hope he reappears.

Newbee- yes his ad was surely the cause. If in fact Lrsky did complain, that probably wouldn't have been enough to do him in. I heard he had been reinstated after a relatively short suspension also.

Well, now for the bad news. I have it on good authority that Sean will not reappear in these forums. :-(

Even when I disagreed with him I always found Sean interesting and informative. In the very best sense of the word Sean was a muckracker. That said, Sean appeared to have an axe to grind on any number of issues and given the volume and depth of his postings it probably is in his and Audiogon's best long term interests to part their ways. It seemed as if it was getting personal.

I for one would strongly encourage Sean to start his own on-line forum.

Sean's World Dot Com!!!! Dude, that's 'audiorific'! He could follow it up
with his very own local cable television program from his basement!
Wonder if he has a bud that can be his Garth? Perhaps his brother. His
dad can come in for guest appearences and they can crank up the tunes
to eleven! Sean LIVES!! He's not a "WAS" - he's an
"IS"!!

Seriously....I agree, even when I disagreed or didn't understand, or
wondered, how the f*&k does Sean find the time to answer all these
friggen questions?! or thought, damn that Sean has a big mouth;-O I
always make a point to read his responses.....then I have a good laugh
and see what someone who really knows what their talking about has to
say...you know, like Slappy or Gunbei! Just yanking your crank Sean!
Damn, that's a big crank you got there man! I know you're reading this.
Hey, put your picture up on the "What do you look like"
thread that's recently started.....I really gotta see that!! I've got a picture
in my head of a shaved head, white dude, bout 210-220 linebacker-
sized, tatoos but not too many, a piercing here or there, leather jacket. I
dunno where the heck this comes from, but that's what comes to mind
for some reason. Maybe I should start a new thread called "What
do you think Sean looks like"? It can become an art contest too,
like used to be on the inside of matchbooks, or in comic books:
"Can you Draw Sean?" If so you can earn a scholorship to the
stay-at-home-and-learn-to-be-a-starving-artist Institute of
Stereotyping.
