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?

I enjoy debating with Sean. He has a good deal of technical know-how, but is totally screwed up at times, and needs to be set straight. Of course, I am always correct :)

Because my wife's eyes glaze over:) As Ozfly said who else can I talk to about this stuff?
Really, I do not participate in much of the subjective posts because I have only been obsessed with this hobby for 2 years and do not have much experience with critically listening to changes. That said, I try and help out people that post problems or want to hear about some experiences that I have had.
Also, I am usually to afraid to post at the Asylum!

I'm unemployed and bored. That's why I post.

That and it's fun to be involved in this hobby. There aren't that many people around here to chat with, so the internet has become my favorite abode.

Milkman, I wondered how you had to for so many posts recently. Sorry to hear about your situation. I always thought the internet was a great commode!

I post, therefore I am. Although I read more than I post. I guess that means I should say I post less than I read therefore I am...less!? No wait a minute that did not come out right either. Ah forget it that's why I just read more than I post.

Seriously though, you regular contributors are great. A'gon is like my audio specific daily newspaper.
