Dealers hijacking the discussions


I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

Over at the DIYaudio forum, we started a thread  called 'thraedjacking'. all about changing the thread. I was so good at being off topic that I managed to practically own that one....

Why deal with one subject at time when one can deal with a dozen? Why crawl by the inch when you can fly in all directions at the same time?

I appreciate all the dealers and manufactures insight. I have to say that I even treat the ordinary audiophile on these threads with a grain of salt until I can tell where they are coming from. Some of the others that have posted for a long time, you can tell where they are coming from and thus can enjoy their contribution, even though you may not agree. As many have noted even though it takes a while it all comes out in the wash. Or in time the fake posters leave and what we have left is a good core of regular posters on many subjects.  I might recommend this even though many of the good posters usually do this, ignore the ill mannered posts as hard as it may be to, ignore the attacks, don't reply to ones you cannot have a mutually good discussion  or address the undressed(that's suppose to be funny). Because what's left is a higher concentration of assistance and a shared joy in this hobby. And the most of ill mannered posters will eventually go off to other pastures.  
If having a website listing products and prices in addition to posting ads on Audiogon for same products makes one a dealer,  a dealer who chimed in above and said he wasn't a dealer actually is.

So much for dealer transparency on Audiogon.
Is it me or has anyone else noticed that the tone of a lot of posts and threads bear more than a passing resemblance to a scripted reality show? And a bad one at that? It's getting to be almost predictable.

I dispair for my fellow man.

All the best,
