Because either I am asked a direct question, and I feel I should
respond, or a comment is made about Stereophile that I feel needs to
be addressed. As someone whose abilty to pay his mortgage depends
on the willingmess of readers to support what he does, I have always
tried to be publicly responsive to those readers.

And no, I don't get pissed off by all respondents on the Asylum,
only by those who appear to wish Stereophile be held to a higher
standard of behavior than other magazines. I think being skeptical
about what my magazine does and how it operates is a sign of health,
and in return I try to make as much as is appropriate about what we
do public knowledge. Hence Art's and my essays in the March issue.
But I remain puzzled why that same skepticism no longer appears to be
felt appropriate by some inmates regarding how other magazines run
their businesses.

And in response to a stateement of yours in another posting, no I did
not tell you to "Fuck Off." That is your projection, pure and simple.
