I would just like to add my thanks to all the Moderators and members of Beoworld. Without this site my home would be free from clutter and not full of old stereos that I dont really need! Every one on here seems if friendly, generous and helpful.

Many thanks Beoworld and Merry Christmas to every one.

I couldn't agree more with the expressed sentiments regarding Beoworld and it's contributers, moderators, etc.

I've found that I go through phases where I peruse the Beoworld website several times a day and then phases where I check it every few days, but I've always come back to this crew as it is without-a-doubt the nicest forum that I've encountered on the web (and I'm a member of quite a few forums).  When the hurricanes ravaged the southeastern USA four or five years ago, the old Beoworld site was, at that time, up and running and I'll never forget that when I found a "hotspot" with working WiFi (which was hard to do as we were without power for a couple of weeks), I realized that I'd been inundated with messages from members of Beoworld inquiring as to how I was doing.  I sat in that Starbucks (the only available, working WiFi in town at the time) and remember being truly humbled that so many cared enough to write me (i.e. someone they'd never met in person).

I think the promise of the internet's ability to keep us "wired-in" and connected to others has almost become an empty promise as, in many cases, the internet serves as a poor substitute for direct human interaction.  Heck, in many instances, it can even distract from more meaningful, direct human interaction.  Yet, a few places on the web, in my experience, transcend this and live up to the original promises and expectations of the "information highway" in terms of enabling meaningful interaction (rather than hindering it) between peoples.  I'd humbly contend that Beoworld lives up to that original promise and that this is a rare quality amongst websites / internet communities.  I'd also suggest that this is due to a genuinely good crowd of people.  I'm proud that I'm a member of Beoworld, and I appreciate all the kindness (usually in regard to answering my dumb questions) that you guys and galls have extended me over the years.

I realize that the thriving metropolis of Mobile, Alabama (tongue-in-cheek) isn't exactly a "destination vacation" for those traveling to the USA, but please know that if any of you are ever over this way, you have a place to crash, have a glass of wine, and listen to my humble B&O stuff.

Merry Christmas to all!

This site has always been a friendly and amusing place and this is entirely down to the members. Lee and his team of moderators, of which I am honoured to be a member, can provide the place, but it is the generous spirit and will to help of the members that marks this site out.

I wish each and everyone on this site a very Happy Christmas and look forward to our next year.
