Mike, as I've told you in PM, after you said the same thing to me there, I work 80 to 100 hours each and every week, I'm married, and just had a new son (in May). Between my work responsibilities, much of the time I can dedicate to Head-Fi ends up being administrative in nature -- this happens on a lot of busy forums. For you to question my passion to "contribute" is unfair. I don't feel I should have to answer to you or anyone else about what I do with my time. I spend
a lot of time with Head-Fi related tasks just about every single day, and check in on the site and my related messages at every opportunity (which is sometimes not as often as I'd like, but that's just how it is). When I'm out driving, if I'm not on the phone with work-related issues, many Head-Fi'ers here will tell you that I talk to them on the phone regularly. I probably get more Head-Fi-related e-mails and PM's than anyone here on a daily basis -- more than I can keep up with -- and much of what little Head-Fi time I have gets devoted to that.
There are some new headphone hi-fi things -- like the new AKG HEARO 999 system, the Beyer DT880 (which isn't new, but pretty much is with me), the new HeadRoom Reference Module, and a couple of other things -- that I'll post about when I can.
It's 19:36 in my timezone now, and I am actually at a client's office on a break, and this his how I came across this post. My baby son will be asleep by 21:00, and I'm over an hour from home, and still not done here. Assuming I catch him before he goes to bed, then I'll spend what time I have to spend with him
with him. After that, I'll hang out with my wife. After that, I've got more work to do, probably until
well after all of my neighbors have gone to bed. After that, I'll check into Head-Fi and see what's going on right before I go to bed. This is just how my days can be when work is busy, and work is busy. Tell you what, Mike: I'm going to get back to work now (this break has already taken far too long), and then go on with the rest of my day as described -- and if you or anyone else doesn't like it (and I know
you don't), that's just too bad.
If you think I have no passion for the site or for the hobby, then ask anyone here who actually knows me, and they'll tell you
very different. I love this site, the community and the hobby as much or more than I ever have -- which one pretty much has to, to help run it for over three years.
