I second the distaste one can have about the ridiculous misuse of these forums to promote stuff…there are blatant examples of this with exaggerated and preposterous multi paragraphed promotional screeds claiming to simply be "sharing" the promoter's enthusiasm for a product. Note that generally these hard sell promotions are regarding relatively unproven (except for a hard core of supporters who repeatedly provide breathless overdone comments in support of this stuff) tweaks that are claimed to provide astonishing enhancement of a system with hyperbole aimed at the insecure audio geek.
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.
