Who's running this show?

I’ve hung around Audiogon for several years, have enjoyed it, and have learned alot. I find the forum discussions to be interesting and entertaining.

There were two threads that were recently removed by a "moderator". The first was the one regarding ASR featuring the one and only Amir. It ran for a long time and had well over one thousand posts. Then one day it’s magically gone. The second thread was entitled What will you not buy? and had gone on for a few/several days. It had over three-hundred posts and then earlier today it went away.
This is Audiogon’s site and they can do with it what they wish. If I’m unhappy I’m free to go. I’m okay with that. Here is my interest: who is Audiogon? It seems to be a mystery.  There is absolutely no editorial voice, no communication with the administrators/officers/owners etc. Other forums that I visit have some dialogue between the members and the powers that be. T

To quell this curiosity I did a bit of online searching and found out a few things like the presidents name, location, number of employees, etc. This was all third party information; I found no presence at all from Audiogon. Again it’s their business and none of mine. But curiosity killed the cat and likely this thread will suffer the same fate. Anyone else find this interesting or unusual?

I don't think I would buy boutique power cords. Yet I just found in my closet  Acoustic Zen Tsunami and Signal Cable power cords I forgot I had. So I guess in the past I did buy them.

It was not my intention to initiate a political discussion, but this thread has devolved in to one.  We are all frustrated by the current state of affairs.  It doesn't matter who you vote for. We, and much of the world, are on a steep decline.  Neither party or candidate will change that.  We all want pretty much the same thing, but we are seeing the "other side" as the enemy.  Back in the day it was us against them.  Down with "the man".  Power to the people, right on.  Now the man has figured out how to get us to hate one another.  We are effectively disenfranchised.  It doesn't matter who you vote for, things will continue in a downward direction. United we stand, divided we fall.  This thread and the deleted one show that if we are not totally fallen, we are staggering on the shakiest of legs. I feel so sorry for the mess we are leaving the younger generation and I don't know how they are gonna reverse the status quo.  Do you?   

By any chance, have you watched any news today on the Supreme Cults last decision of the year? I think you'd take most of what you said back if you did.

All the best,
Nonoise

  I don't understand.  If it was deemed fine, why was it shut down?

Good chance the previous mentioned thread disappeared like clockwork after god was introduced into the discussion in a primarily all cap rant.

I missed that.  I feel deprived.
