Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon?

I seriously doubt the OP enjoys music, unless he considers the sound of his voice as such. Perhaps he needs to be locked in an elevator alone listening to Lou Reed’s Metal Machine music for eternity. 

Mho....
I suspect everyone that haunts this space enjoys music to whatever degree that consists of.  For some, just the 'event' of it, and the ability to do so in their own fashion and means.
Others may relish what I consider the 'esoteric'; the 'hunt' to be able to grasp the discrete nuance of their equipment to recreate a performance to the nth degree....
If being able to hear the 1st violinist breathe as well as play with 'brio', well....great.
Do so...let us know. *S*
Most of us fall somewhere in the Great Middle of the Audiophile Bell Curve. ;)

Wishing eternity on anyone is cruel enough, needlebrush.
As for L. Reed....the OP might like that.  Did you ask?
Hell, no.

The only way we as humans will experience eternity is through death.
That...happens eventually, anyway.
You get to 'go there' too.
Watch for what you wish on others... just saying....

Erik, in my experience you are nothing like a jerk.  Your posts are reasonable and helpful.  I look forward to reading what you have say.

It may be the passing of member almarg, but this is the second (at least) "mea culpa" posting I have read this week. Erik, you're right, there are a lot of jerks on this forum, but I have never counted you among them. Believe me, I'd be happy to tell you if I thought you were.

Sorry to burst your bubble,but you ain’t even in the top 10.  You’re going to have to really up your “jerk” game to make your way up there.
