That is BS and discriminatory.
We all hate the robot BS. Seems like it's been turned off.
Here is my beef
I have enjoyed learning so much about Audio through What's Best Forum and Audiogon over the last 8 years. I have many new audio friends from around the world as a result of these forums. In some cases, I want to explore even more information from individuals on certain topics and threads. Sure you can send an email through Audiogon to individuals but in a lot of cases, I would love to contact this person directly by phone or personal email. I am not selling products behind Audiogon's back. I just want to communicate and have a discussion with people on these forums on a more personal level. I can do it on WBF but not on Audiogon. They do not allow phone numbers or personal emails. That sucks.
Oh wait, I have another bitch. I am functionally blind and in order to send this message, I have to identify traffic signals which I can't frickking see. That is BS and discriminatory.
