RE: ok, i'll add a little more...

But Bobby, I don't want to hear where YOU think Merlins fit into the scheme of things. Anymore than you want to hear where, based on what I hear, I think they fit. What you and I think here is irrelevant. Everybody knows that YOUR sense of things is Merlin-centered, as it should be. An author knows his intentions (if not objectively what he has actually achieved) better than anyone. And almost everybody knows that my sense of things has (after a long weeding out process) become Audio Note and Reynaud centered. My intellectual and emotional investment in AN and JMR is not as fundamental as yours has to be in Merlin, but it's close enough so that folks know they may be dealing with a confluence of interest when they deal with me. And finally, I don't need to know how your design got to where it is and why because I can hear the results, which is all that matters to me.

Again, what is needed is to have someone who has neither your nor my specific interests here step in and provide a more (I don't say absolutely) objective or at least disinterested (as judges are presumed to be) comparative description. You and I don't need to talk to each other, here or on the phone. SOMEBODY ELSE needs to talk to all of us.

I didn't really expect you to come into this conversation - and I acknowledge you entered with reservations (!). I expected some other champions and critics of Merlin to step in and start using some interesting adjectives. Adjectives other than "resolving," "transparent," "accurate," "truthful," and the like.

So sorry to take up your time.
