Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...

MC committed the worst sin possible on Agon. The sinister act of sharing contact info!

His infractions were numerous and not exclusive to that...

Perhaps or perhaps not, but it was the reason as I understand. 

That certainly could have been the final infraction that got him his second (permanent?) suspension. 

I think you are correct @thecarpathian 

I agree and especially agree with Hilde45. Since we can't read people's minds I prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and not assume covert bad intent.  Recently I mentioned in a comment (a country that maybe we can't mention) and YEP you can guess it. Part of my comments even mentioned that, perhaps "that" country may just be producing the best engineers to implement some of the new hardware and chips used in DACs. Surprise, the thread was removed.  I was just posing the question of why certain DAC's measured so well.  I didn't sense any responses that warranted taking it down  Maybe there were other reasons.  If AudioGone is listening I hope that's not why it got "removed".
