Warren, in answer to making things more exciting round the 'Gon, I love it when there are threads on Best Jazz of 2003, or Best New Finds, or reviews of concerts and stuff. I know Ben Campbell already posted on something like this, maybe last week, I'm not intending to be redundant! But if there were more discussion of MUSIC, live and recorded, I think the forums would be more interesting. Not that I don't enjoy reading about all the latest gear and systems and recommended match-ups, too.
Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives?
What CD player has a volume Control? Newbee in the world of analog? What are the best cables for the money?
Sound Familiar?
I spent some time searching the forum archives, and was amazed at the wealth of information contained within. Often, many individuals have and post legitimate questions. Although, these questions (in many cases) have been answered time and time again in the forum archives.
Unfortunately, due to the redundancy of these questions, many of the well established Audiogoner's will no longer respond to these redundant/repeat questions. This may leave the individual asking the question feeling somewhat neglected, not realizing that their question has been answered and/or discussed many times previous.
I also find it interesting, that Audiogon management explicitly states in the "What We Will Decline" section of "Moderation Guidlines", that questions of repetitional nature will be filtered and declined.

The forum archives are a tremendous resource of information. Is there a manner in which individuals posting in the forum could be directed to the forum archives BEFORE posting their particular question? I mention this because the individual posting, may find more complete coverage of their particular question already exists, yielding them much more thorough results/information. Could the Audiogon moderators utilize "keywords" of a newly asked question in order to refer to the archives before that particular question is actually posted?
Would this be considered or construed as unreasonable?
Could this be considered "overmoderated"?
Any suggestions/input?

Good point. We all love music, don't we? Maybe we should be talk'n a hellava lot more about what we love. How' this? Gotta bug outta here, now, but I thought I'd throw some music at ya. Bought the new Nora Jones album. On first listen, I was disappointed. Took only one more listen to realize there is something special about the recording. It's growing on me all the time. Her voice is quite unique. We really don't know what she can do with her voice. She doesn't really sing anything challenging. Her range appears to be just an octave. But, then again, so was Billie Holiday's. Something lovely about that voice. I like her material as well. I like this recording/quality more than the last. Thoughts? peace, warren |
Was this a trick question? People don't necessarily look at what else is currently being discussed. Check out these two on best lines/lyrics in a song. Started 3/7/04 http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?hbest&1078707228&read&3&zzlSfar&& Also started 3/7/04 http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1078641734&read&3&zzlArthursmuck&& Does confirm prior comment though that search feature may not produce right response - one says lyric, other says line; one in "music", other in "best of". Hmm. Which should I post to? |
