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

Hi Sean- Happy 2005 to you and all the others here at my home away from home. My wife is naming you all as co-respondents in the divorce ;~). And marco and Newbee and all, please keep me laughing. As to the content of your post, Sean, I'm with Mt10452. A little 'tude keeps people alert and focused, sometimes. And Dave, congrats on quitting the smokes. You will be healthier, wealthier, and smell better!!! My New Year's rez is to finally figure out which amp I like and sell all of the others. I've got way to much $$ tied up in gear.

While i appreciate the words of support, i was hoping that others might contribute resolutions of their own. Not only might this encourage others to try to make a change for the better in their lives seeing that others may be fighting similiar battles, it would be a public reminder for all of us to look at during the year.

First, to Sean and everybody else: happy new year.
Second: maybe a dissapointment Sean, but I don't do new years resolutions any more. I just don't stick with them, so it's a waste of time. Besides, any moment is the right moment to better your life. Heeeee...... that sounds rather intelligent. Maybe I should....... nah, I'll just stay who and what I am, always filled with good intentions, but steadily progressing on the road to hell.

Hey Sean, figured that since you posted on the Asylum, as well, I might as well do the same here. I realize this has become a "how great and noble is Sean's resolution" thread...just fool'n with you again. (already mentioned your avoidance to answering my questions about the Ayre disc, you asked me to post on the 'gon, so I won't go there again) Anyway, your resolution is noble. Now, if you can only walk the talk. I don't believe in public resolutions. I keep them between me and God. Much more humbling. For me, that is...it's my fellow man, that let's me know if I'm walking the talk--my strength usually rests in what I don't say. it's a battle for me as you can see...peace, warren.

Warren: I by no means started this thread in search of praise or recognition. As stated, i wanted to clear the air for all to see and i had hoped that others would join with me in making public proclamations. Making such a proclamation for all to see is a constant reminder for us to do better and try harder. I'm just hoping that i can live up to my resolution, cuz otherwise, everyone knows that i've screwed up. Even if i do "slip" or "screw up", it wouldn't be the first time : )

Other than that, i just saw the thread that you're talking about. I know that we discussed this via email quite a while back. You told me that you were going to start a thread about this subject as i had requested. A short time later, you sent me an email telling me that you had posted a thread on this subject. When i checked, i saw no such thread. My guess is that the couple of times that i checked, the thread had not appeared yet due to the time delay in moderation. You sent me an email a while back asking me to look at the thread about the Ayre disc, but there was no link to which thread you were talking about. Having seen this post, i checked through all of your personal threads and found it now. I will respond to it within 24 hours time, as i've got to leave the house now.

For future reference, if someone wants me to respond to a thread, please forward a link to the specific thread. On top of that, if you send me an email and you don't hear back from me in a reasonable amount of time, please try contacting me again. Between the amount of emails i receive pertaining to work, various audio forums, other hobbies that i have, etc... some things get lost in the shuffle. On top of that, emails are sometimes "lost in cyberland" and never show up. As such, if one doesn't hear from me within a few days at most, PLEASE drop me another note. I'm really not trying to avoid anyone and i do my best to get back to people on a timely basis. It's just that sometimes, there's more on my plate than i can keep up with. Sean

PS... Unless one prefers to have a private conversations, i prefer to discuss things publicly. This gives others the opportunity to both learn from and contribute to the knowledge pool that is Audiogon. This is not to mention that someone can correct mistakes that i might make or facts that i overlook. I'm not perfect, ya know??? : ) Sean
