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?

WHY---???? Hey;I'm not a shrink;don't ask me. Beyond the classifieds, I think of this place as a giant hi fi mag.---You know read about all kinds of products and how they interact with equipment---- Learn more about products I already own--(yes) Learn about stuff I might buy.-----Share all kinds of stuff. Answer emails make 'net buddies'.---- I have just enough time in the hobby to be able to help those below my level--(not many). ----- Mostly it's learn,share, have fun and did I mention learn?

It's just fun to help folks out or share something fun or interesting that you've found. And sometimes it's to take advantage of the perfect opportunity to be a smartass!

Kickbacks and payoffs from the audio manufacturers. That, and the great medical plan and retirement benefits keep me posting.

PS ......Hell, If I can save a few heathen solid state listeners from the ravaging onslaughts of that wicked platform in the process, wake them up and have them accept the likes of G.R. Carey, John Ambrose Flemming, and Lee de Forrest as their lords and saviors, I can sleep better at night!! That's just frosting on the cake!
