I think it shows both class and chutzpah on the part of the magazine and its staff.

That said, I am always perplexed by the rough treatment that "luminaries" tend to get on public fora. I remember Jim Bongiorno being driven off of the "FMtunerinfo" forum, and - more recently - Ken Kantor bailing from audiokarma.

Seems like a crappy way to treat folks who choose to share their expertise, as well as their biases, with the great unwashed, huddled masses (me included).

all the best,

And who pays when forums lose someone who actually knows something, usually by know nothings? We do, not the person who isn't there any more

Harry Weisfeld gets over on the vinyl board?

He slings it right back, bless him.

Some folk forget that these "luminaries" are people too.

      and I did say "pretty much", as I do drop my guard & even post to 'em now and again.
      
      I get pretty tired of the urinating contests between factions, though.
