Please Make Audiogon Cool



I think that there are a lot of experienced and interesting people on this site. Some in retail, some in manufacturing, and probably some really cool artists, scientists and engineers of all sorts of backgrounds.


I want to encourage those of you with something to say, a point of view, a helpful idea to post.


Without this type of interaction, Audiogon becomes just a shopping support group. If you care about the Audiogon community and would like to see it go in a particular direction, then please contribute in the way you feel most comfortable and engaging.

Thanks!

clearthink,

There is a possibility that noble100 also lives in Australia.
Hate to break it to you, but Australia is most definitely considered "the West" culturally.

" He lives in Australia, he's constantly wrong, his wife's a kangaroo and he doesn't use a class D amp"

This is vile, hateful, prejudiced language, the wholesale, unconsidered denigration of those who live in another part of the world and you're conviction that you're "Western World" has achieved some sort of unusual excellence and superiority. 


Come' on roberttcan, lighten up!
      I was just messin with George in a well considered and, I thought, in an obviously good natured and satirical manner.  I think there's a strong kinship between Americans and our Australian brothers and sisters.
      Of course I know Australia is considered by most people, including myself, as a western style country culturally, economically and politically.  I actually love, respect and enjoy Australia and the many Australians I consider friends.
     Sure, the men are probably overly affectionate toward their sheep and other farm animals and the women are obsessed and very promiscuous with Americans. However, when it comes to messing and joking around, I can assure you they can take it as well as they give it.  Can you?

Hey noble100, 

I knew you were just joking, seems  ---clearthink--- did not.  I was just copying his rant and pointing out to him that Australia is the west :-)
glupson to clearthink: "There is a possibility that noble100 also lives in Australia."


Hello glupson and clearthink,
      Lighten up clearthink and be cool like glupson. 
      I actually live in Indiana but love Australia and, for the most part, Australians. I consider Australia and the U.S. as countries with a kindred spirit and am very aware that Australia is considered a Western country culturally, economically and politically as well as a close ally to us militarily. 
     I was just messing with George and can assure you both that Australians can take a bit of messing with them as well as dishing out a good dose of some good-natured messing in return.


G-Day mates,
Tim
