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?

Dammit Gunbei, I thought we agreed not to speak publicly of our 'special relationship'. I told you, people won't understand what we have together. People are cruel, intollerant and jelous when they see a green slant-headed boy walking hand in hand with a 44 year-old white man! If this kind of indiscression continues I'm going to have to break it off! Pay no attention to the green boy folks, he's young and reckless, and lives in a fantasy land inside is green slanted head. There's nothing to see here folks. Go back to your banter about more valuable ways to contribute and leave us to speak further in private. I'll straigten him out, you'll see. He just needs a bit of TLC, and just a bit of manly loving. Sorry for wasting all the bandwidth with our bickering. C'mere Gunbei......no, don't be afraid....don't you run from me.....I won't hurt you again....there you go, that's it......see, isn't that better..........NOW SAY MY NAME BITCH! WHO'S YOUR DADDY!???!!!

Because A Gon is a great place to hang out. I have learned a great deal through A gon posts and personal experiences , and If I feel I can share something that will help someone, then its time well spent. Also everyone I have spoken with on A gon either directly or through e mails, genuinely seem to be sincere , and very nice , individuals.
You won't catch me with those big manhands, I'll just keep sliding away zig zagging my way through the aisles of toyland using my special one foot lifted behind me style.

You're not my Daddy!!! Pokey is!

Pokey! Pokey! Pokey!

Please help me Audiogoners!

Protect me from this mean man who grabs me by one of my legs and throws me spinning in the air like whirling top.

Yeah, you might think it would fun flying through the air like a little green clay propellor, but doing that always ends up splitting me in half from the crotch up.

You think Mr. Bill had it tough? He's dead and long been toxic fish food since Sluggo sent him down the shower drain.

But Ajax2 won't let me die! He just keeps using me as his tiny green plaything, throwing and spinning me.

Then he takes pictures of me all split up in his "studio" and posts them on the internet. Go look at them:
