Just me or what?

First off... Happy Holidays to all you Goners!
May the holidays be filled with joy and good health!
observation:
 I have been on the GON for over 12 yrs. and to me these last several years have gone quickly downhill!
Sellers who act like they're equipment was knighted by the Queen and priced like it!
Buyers who think nothing of going WAY below low balling you in the hopes your having a " fire sale"!
Rude and abrupt e mails with a " take it or leave it" attitude...
In addition woe be the member who has a newbie type question or needs further help grasping some new piece of technology and it' s bare the swords and slash away...:-)
I joined this site for great advice,great people with graciousness when they were helping out a fellow member ( which they were only too happy to do!)
I also joined because the items were overwhelmingly in very good to excellent shape because the owners were careful with they're hard earned equipment..
Members were grateful for the sale and grateful for the opportunity to own gently used items for A FAIR PRICE!
These last few yrs. seems to have turned these principals on their ear.
Lets all re- commit to be a kinder, gentler group who share this hobby with class and an open mind!
we "old schoolers" remember these things and have made great friends here.
 Best wishes,

Jake
