I've met a whole lot of Audiogoners, many of which became good friends.  Most do not take part in the threads, but a few who do:
As Michael (Swampwalker) mentioned, we met.  Obvious from his long time Audiogon participation, he's an absolutely stellar guy!

Also, off the top of my head: The Doctor (Mechans), Michael (Sufentanil), Bill Feil (AudioFeil), Spencer (Sbank), Bobby Palkovic, Vinh Vu (vtvu), John McGrogan, Duke (AudioKinesis), Bob Fogel (Rfogel),  Marius Stark (Mjstrrk), Tom (Tcrnetsmn), Dave Garretson, Russ Prince (rcprince), Johnny Rutan, Paul Folbrecht, Norm (Tbg), Albert Porter, and there are others...

Would love to meet folks like David (Dekay), Will (TubeGroover), Mapman, Brian (EssentialAudio), Denis (Springbok10), Unsound, Grannyring, Roxy54, LouSetTiodes, Saki70, Dlcockrum, Bigkidz, Islandmandan, and many more who no longer who hang around here.
bdp- since we are brothers in hair as well as musical tastes, I guess I should point out that I'm SwampwaLKer, not SwampwaTer.  I'm a wetland scientist, I walk around in swamps.  Just sayin'...
I met one guy on PS Audio's site, now consider him one of my closest friends.We are both in our 60s and enjoy discovering new, and old music we missed the when it was released.
Met a couple of guys on here, got to listen to an excellent system, particularly the analog section. Speakers sounded great from mid up, bass was not my cup of tea.
I don't think they liked me. The guy who hosted was, well both were very friendly, just a bit odd. They probably thought much worse of me.

I only stop here on Saturday's when I get the email update. I think anyone named wolfgarcia would be my kind of people. Over the years, I met a lot of good people at Dead shows. After "Touch Of Grey" the wanna be's started showing up, didn't have a clue. More suited for head banging, both literally and otherwise. The one's that didn't get it moved on.
If you find people in your area, send a PM.It can be hard to find dedicated audiophiles/music lovers. Most of my friends, some I have known for over 50 years, have lost interest.
Another place to meet like minded people is at your local audio shop, when they have special events. If nothing else, you may meet some of audio's greats. I got to have a very nice conversation with Richard Vandersteen.
Damn Swampwalker, I’ve been writing it wrong all this time? Sorry mate, I guess I thought it was perhaps a Louisiana or Florida-derived moniker, as it may be. Time to start wearing my reading glasses regularly! bdp24 refers to my favorite vintage drum covering (Black Diamond Pearl) and bass drum size (24").
