New Years Resolutions


I hope everyone that reads this has a safe and prosperous New Year in 2005.

My New Year's resolution is to try and be nicer and more helpful to people in the coming year. I hope to be able to achieve those goals and do so in a calmer, more mild mannered method than i have used in the past. This is a new year coming up and i'd like to start with a clean slate. As such, i'm asking those that i've offended or argued with in the past to forgive me for my past discretions, comments and attitudes. Regardless of whether someone is willing to do that for me, i'll do that for those that i've held grudges with and / or gotten into disputes with. As Mr Mellencamp says on his latest release "grace, mercy and forgiveness will help a man walk tall" and that is what i would like all of us here to be able to do i.e. walk tall with our heads held high amongst friends.

Best wishes to the Agon family. I hope we can all have a safer and more enjoyable life in 2005. Happy New Year!!! Sean

Sean, where's my answer to the track 7 Ayre disc? Now, remember, you said you would be gentle...

my new year rez?---to remember this is Audiogon....should always be a safe place for an audiophool...keep my ego in check... and not rave (too much) about my.....oops, almost did it...Have a glorious and peaceful year my fellow audiophools....warren
Nah, don't do it. Being crabby and intolerant is a catharsis. George W. Sr promoted "kinder, gentler" and look what a jackass his offspring is. Besides, a little "tude" (if it's not mean-spirited like JM) helps people believe you're committed in your beliefs. Or, go ahead give your resolution a shot, it's just that some people weren't born to look the other way.

cigarettes , done with um after after 38 years! I might not live any longer, but...a hell of a lot cheaper.

As far as your posts...You and Eldartford are two of the guys I read and trust the most...I didn't exactly just fall off the back of the turnup truck so audio advice is welcome when there are so many questions and so few REAL answers.

Keep up the good work Sean,... you to Eldartford. You guys are what this sight is all about.

You've been way generous with your knowledge and experience, Sean, and I hope this is the right time to say I appreciate it very much. Best wishes to you and to all for the New Year.

My own resolution (audio that is) is to save enough, by sticking to cheap tweaks, that I can afford to buy a better tone arm in the next twelve months.
What a great thread for the start of the year. I think we all get frustrated here from time to time when we read comments or advice that goes against all that we know and have experienced. The trick is to write a response from the heart without offending other A'gon members. There are a dozen or so members here who regularly contribute that I keep my eyes out for as I have learned much from them....and Sean is one of these.
