Dealers hijacking the discussions

I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

Yup.  You've had a fun set of careers man!  For those who don't know, I sold my Basis rig to Tomic this past year.  We've talked a bunch and much of it about our hobbies outside of audio.  Just another passion for the forums.  I"ve gotten to meet some great folks so far from designers, to shop owners to fellow audiophiles.  Tons of fun for someone who often has to stay home and can't socialize.

Kewl indeed. Early in my career I designed some of the circuits and some of the associated test equipment for various incarnations of the radar system on the A-6 Intruder attack aircraft, which was carried on the Kitty Hawk. And also for some of the radar countermeasure equipment on its EA-6B electronic warfare variant.

My thanks also to Ctsooner and Dynaquest4 for their service and sacrifices.

Best regards,

As many others have said, I think dealers provide a valuable service as long as there is disclosure. If they over do it, people recognize that and it probably works to their detriment.  

Audiogon is a better place with responsible dealers with good products to inform us about. (Disclosure, I am not a dealer).
