He could have just set me straight with the basic information he posted (I knew I was in a pickle well before his last message, but I could not figure out how to gracefully get out of it), but then he went on to impugn my journalistic and book-writing integrity, as if all of the stuff I have said about audio as a hobby and people like you both here and in print was wrong. I will speculate that other than the complementary biographical sketch of him that I did for The Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound (he read the draft prior to me sending it to the publisher) he has never read any of my books or magazine articles. Yet he made it sound as if I was the biggest promoter of audio claptrap in the business. > Somebody being snotty and nasty and hostile, just because > of a question about audio?

Thank god for all of us that high-end audio is such an insignificant institution. For me, leaving the business has been notably painless and free of remorse. I miss it like I miss a toothache.
