The best and worst Audiogon poster's

......I would add that I've "met" many on here that I would be pleased to call "friend". Cheers again. Craig.

Come on you guys, GROW UP, dont keep putting everyone else down because of their OPINIONS. Take each indivual (Male or Female) for what they are worth and what they have to CONTRIBUTE. I have enjoyed ALL the threads and learned much from all of you.

Carl I guess we agree to disagree.IMHO MIT is not value for the money.In yours they are.You at sime time should contact an Engineering Prof at MIT the school and discuss cable Physics.You could learn something if you where open minded enough to accept someone else's view's.Go figure a piece of wire can cost 2/3 times more than an amp which is full of very complex parts.Go figure a Rogue 88 is worth 1500.How can a couple of meters of wire be worth more.Give it some thought there is no logical reason for this.There is no platinum,Rhodium in this wire is there so.Why is it worth so much.Just a thought.Anyone else have an opinion on this.

I really appreciate those of you who have read my postings and consider them of value. However, opinions are like music, some pieces appeal to a large audience and some to only a few. I enjoy reading almost all of the comments from the posters at Audiogon. I have now met four people in my city, all because of Audiogon! To discuss music is great, to listen together is even better. There is much less to disagree about, except what piece of music to play next, or is it too loud for my other family members. I hope no person will feel limited in expressing their opinion here, it is akin to book burning, once an idea is stifled because it is not popular, we are ALL denied the opportunity to share in the idea presented. I hope all of you will keep this in mind, offer a tiny bit of respect, even to those who you disagree with. State your case, hold firm to your choices, but be open to the possibility that someone could offer help where we all need it.

Well Albert you have echoed my sentiments. To be honest I have found so many posts of value to me personally. Sometimes more from individuals that have differing views than my own. I have even LOL at some of the flamers and really don't take them too seriously, how could you as outrageous as some are? There are however one or two that post here whose motives I am beginning to question. I really can't nor would single out individuals that stand out, I wouldn't want to leave out anyone, kind of like the Academy Awards show,"I want to thank............ad infinitum but it you thank or appreciate one stated over another not, but equally appreciated, humm, not a good idea. I will only say that I value ALL posters who are honest in what they post. Over time it becomes obvious who those individuals are. I also value lively and passionate discussion, it is most important sometimes in making an individual point heard. The personal attacks if they must be done should display a bit more humor, no need to get defensive, work on a better counterattack! A last word from me is I love music, especially live music, one of my greatest passions in life. It has been with me since I remember my father singing songs to my sisters and me at bedtime as a very young child. Well-reproduced audio is a means to capture what is real in music. What is real to me may differ from you. We all must ultimately respect the differences in our own view of reality and let the music reign!
