I commend you for your wish to get more involved with charity work. When my father passed away a few years ago, most of the local hospice staff were all volunteers and it does really make you think whether we really need to spend all this money on all this kit, when places like that are struggling to survive as they rely on donations.

When I read on this board of users wanting to sell their 6 month £10,0000 TV to buy a newer TV, and take a multi-thousand pound loss on their TV, then telling others their "telly" is the centre of their lives, you do wonder about the materialistic nature of some B&O users and, like you, it does make you wonder who is your friend (or not) in this life.

Bob, sorry to see you departing.

Your enthusiasm was good to see ... but I am sure you will apply that enthusiasm to other matters and I hope it brings you joy and helps bring balance to the world.

Please visit us from time to time ... we will miss you.

God speed.

That is a shame - I think you have added some fun to the forum and have been a welcome member of the vintage owners club! Old B&O has the advantage of being cheap to buy and still be a quality product. I think the emphasis just on the latest gadget less than engaging and enthusiasm for the older products such as you have had is much more fun.

We had several private chats Bob and for that I wish you all the best and luck and most important thing in life, good health! I'm sure you will come back once!

Cheers mate!

I must say, I allways have greatly admired people who have determination and courage to do what they feel and know is right thing to do, and that means things like doing the world better place to all of us to be. That is something what all of us should do in our everyday life with our everyday decisions. I do support your efforts with that. Carry on and best luck on your chosen road.

Please all you whom feel affected - feel free to remove me from your friend lists - I hold nothing against any of you and wish you all joy an happiness there is to have.

It has been short and somewhat bumpy ride for me and I'm grateful for that and contacts I've made, but I have greater hell to deal with in real life (with bigger issues than value of B&O products) .

If any of you want some of the product I still own - please contact me (I don't want anything for it, just to get it of my life, for what it did caused little joy and lot hardship and where I be going I won't have use for it anyway)

All the best

Hi Bob,

very, very sad to see you disappear from beoworld. For me you brought a very lively and fresh spirit to the forum, and personally, you enriched my time. I will miss our chats. Thanks for giving me the chance to bid on real vintage B&O (you know what I mean, and yes, I learned the difference now between semi vintage, vintage and real vintage). I wish you all the best as well as for your partner and please take care of your lovely cats. I hope it will be a "Auf Wiedersehen" rather than a "Lebewohl" (your german improved from e-mail to e-mail, mate).

So, for now, auf Wiedersehen und alles, alles Gute, mein Freund!

Kind regards,

Rolf

Bob,

Sad to read this but I respect your decision.
We had many good conversations and I will welcome you back anytime.

Dear Bob,

I don't know you personally nor do I know what happened to you in your life to make this bold decision... but I have great respect for you and your decision! You are an example for this forum which shows grace between us members and respect; not a common thing nowadays - whether in forums or in the great challenge called real life.
What I interpret between the lines is, that s.th. not so good happened in your life... it's pure speculation, I know, but I can tell you:

Whatever happens: There's always a way out!
Even if the worst case happens and somebody has to die there's the chance that doctors can help to let you pass away in peace and without pain.

Although we haven't met, I take my hat of to you.


Thomas

We will all be here in the future if you decide to return.

The best of luck! 

🙂
