Lets fight Part2

Kelly, they did make a change. It used to be possible to "vote" over and over if you cleared your cache or deleted cookies. Now Audiogon's system reads your IP address rather than putting a cookie on your computer. So, for example, although I have 4 computers, they are all hooked up to a hub with a hard firewall that has a single IP address, so I can only "vote" once. Unless, I take a laptop and plug it in somewhere else.

May not be the change you wanted. Like you, I'm tired of the ratings, the pointless comparisons and the marketing.

paulwp: thanx for the respone but, actually, there have reputedly been filters in place for some time that read off ip addresses. strange thing, tho, they are, according to a'gon's syops, only applied "periodically." i know: go figure. -kelly

Well I guess we all can't play fair in the sandbox. I just read tireguys thread on best value speaker. And replied on what I personnally liked for speakers. Someone out there gave me a -2, -2 for something "I enjoyed??" Being in the military so long I'm not used to cowards hiding in the bushes. If you have something negative to say to me, then say it; I'm a man and can handle it, are YOU????? Well send all the negs you want, I'm not into your childish games. If you didn't like my choice of speaker selection the proper response would have been explaining why you feel my choice of speaker is not to your liking. Maybe that would have been more productive in helping people look for speakers. No, I'm not mad, just thought we were all here to learn from one anothers experiences. And I do appreciate the ones out there who have shared there knowledge with me, you have saved me money and time and eventually I can do the same for others. So on that note I am done with this. Have a great day, pete

cornfed - i, too, asked a-gon when the woting nonsense wood end, or at least change. they said it wood change soon, but that it woodn't end, cuz, tho they've gotten complaints from the likes of ewe-n-me, they've also gotten *more* support. ?!? from WHERE?!? the support i've heard is tentative at best, & wery little of it. so, c'mon guys, write a-gon & COMPLAIN!!! a few days ago, i got ~120 negative wotes - w/in a few minutes' time. i asked a-gon about that, too - no response...

Doug, that's what I was told when I complained as well. Something to the effect that they have more traffic now. All I see is these silent idiots that love to dish out negative votes for no reason. I guess on a positive note, maybe this is keeping these ass-wipes from setting a forest fire somewhere. I say quality over quantity. AudiogoN seems to think otherwise, and it's their show.
