Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
Audiogon is a private company; it is not run by a government. They can have whatever rules they like. If you do not like it, you are free to not use Audiogon.   
Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae
I love reggae. I love rock. I don't feel either is 'above' the other, any more than yellow is above purple. Why the need to denigrate entire genres of music? Music is art, not a contest.   
Best Rock Drummers
@chayro - I assume you're a fan of his playing on Phil Manzanera's '801 Live' album? That's what turned me on to how great Simon Phillips was....

Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
If it's relatively inexpensive, I'll list on Agon, but otherwise, it's USAM - percentages are too high here; I'll go with free...  
Speakers on carpet over concrete
I have wall-to-wall carpet in my listening room, with stand mount speakers; I found a big difference, especially in the bass, between using spikes and not using them. I think there is a thick layer of concrete between floors of my apartment buildi... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
I guess for some folks, having a super-precise instrument/piece of gear is of more importance than how it sounds. As long as each side respects the other, seems equally valid to me, though I'm into sounds myself, not measurements.   
Seller Listing Pet Peeve
@carlsbad - it's been the 'internet age' for a few decades now. That new-fangled Google thing is quite useful for finding info right away about pretty much anything, though. 😁 I do agree though that sellers should have photos of the back of the u...

@cd318 - ever seen or heard Peter Hook's Light, with both Hooky and his son on bass, playing mostly JD but some NO stuff as well?   
Favorite religious song
@jond - You are right - I am a JGB fan too, and went to loads of their shows here in San Francisco, and Jerry always liked to do the occasional soulful or spiritual number; he played 'My Brothers and Sisters' at every show during the late 80's and...
