2022 is almost here. Why are you here?

I’m here for me. I don’t go after people to much. I just watch for the most part, unless it get WAY out of hand. There are a few that flock to others like stink on pink but, if they didn’t what else would they post about?

I think there are some great examples of how NOT to conduct yourself here on AG. It’s a pure learning experience for me at times..

I can assure everyone usually those being talked about are just a quick-witted and usually can give as good as what was dished out. The question is do you want to address the "Twit" remark, or be the bigger person?

It’s tough to be a Gentleman or a Lady it seems..

They need to bring back dueling I think. Better than the cowardly drive-by, punk A$$ mentality of today.

When I was a kid you went and got your big brother, now you get a Humvee and a Bazooka.

Somethin' changed

Bless me father, for I have sinned...

Being raised Catholic, I've learned, first hand, the hypocrisy of asking for forgiveness, being absolved for your sins, only to have a clean slate to go out and rack up the sins for next Saturday to confess away so you can have Communion on Sunday with a clean conscious.

I'm here to learn about audio, share it and enjoy it with others and have that sense of community. 

At times, it's necessary to do the role of parenting and call out the miscreants who mean to turn this site into their personal playground. This is a community site and no one's safe space to release their spite and hate filled thoughts that they've developed and nurtured on some other dark and silly place. 

Personally, I think the mods should have a tighter, broken windows policy. 

All the best,

Noise I enjoyed that.

All the best.

The easy answer is I love music but I’m not sure that’s really true. In my opinion music generally sucks. Amazon music has over 75 million tracks and if there were 10 thousand that I would listen to more than once I’d be really surprised. I’m audiophile because I love the performance. I first thought it would be the musician but that’s not true either. It’s really rare to enjoy a musician’s whole album much less the whole catalog. So it’s the performance I love. When I do come across that great performance I strive to become intimate with it as I can. How the voice trails off or those slightest changes in presentation. The details separate good from great and the equipment brings out the details.

I’m and audiophile because of intimacy. I become emotionally attached to the performance. I’m driven to get closer to better understand the intent and then revel in it. I’m also a techy so being here feeds both parts

I come for the virtue signaling.
