Srajan, just now I watched part 3 of an interview between John DeVore and Michael Lavorgna where they talk about how Michael started his reviewing career. I didn't realize that he began at 6moons. Very interesting. It must be nice for you to see former contributors go on to do well for themselves. Were there others? I've not paid attention to this so I hope you don't mind me asking.

I don't. The global reviewing community isn't big. It's only natural that many personalities show up in numerous places over the years. After all, not everyone skilled and passionate about writing on hifi can launch his own enterprise or even wants to do it full-time. Just so, Kari Nevalainen briefly wrote for us before starting Inner, Jeff Day wrote for us then launched his own blog Jeff's Place which is now hosted by PFO, Jöel Chevassus wrote for us and occasionally still does then launched his own online review magazine in French and Michael again leads Twittering Machines. Ken Micallef went on to write for Stereophile, Chip Stern came from there briefly to us then moved on to Positive Feedback, Stephæn came to us from TAS, Edgar Kramer wrote for us now helms SoundStage! Australia. I'm pleased that for some of these writers, we were a useful waystation in their career. We even inspired others to launch their own websites right off like Jörg Dames and Ralph Werner did with fairaudio.de and Dawid Grzyb and Marek Dyba with HifiKnights. We even published some John Darko while he grew his original Aussie blog to now darko.audio. I believe in and enjoy networking. It's about sharing our communal enjoyment of a simple hobby in its many different forms. Srajan
