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?

Nope, it can't be explained away that easily Nrchy. Gunbei (the GreenMan) is the one without the rectum. It wasn't part of the twelve-step program, and it's not contagious! So I got no such excuse for the abundance of &*%$# that fills me up! I'd say constipation, except for the fact that I stock the pond with Finless Browns on a pretty regular basis. I'm proud to tell you I've had plenty of big'uns in there too. Some fight like the Dickens to stay afloat. Had to flush three time for one of'em! Maybe posting here helps me get rid of some of the residual though, and that's what you're picking up on?! Ooops, out of toilet paper......anyone got the new Stereophile on hand?

Sometimes its kind of like watching television and being on it at the same time. I like that, and I like that outside status of individual members is minimized in interactions. Who one is is what one posts. And I get to back and look at my old posts, and see how I've changed and try to improve on my attitudes. And who can forget the assortment of characters who come and go or stay?

Ohlala - I tend to liken it more to watching a car crash and being in it at the same time. Whenever I go back and read my old posts I wonder why they keep allowing me to post anything here at all!? I haven't changed a bit. It's hopeless. Gee, I'm glad I'm in this car crash cause now I won't have to off myself.
