>Also good know you are yet again a majority of one.
You keep saying this or a variant as if it were some kind of issue with
my role as Stereophile's editor. You also lecture me me on how I should
do my job; say that if you were the owner or publisher of Stereophile you
would force me into early retirement because of the decisions I make; yet
you have yet to answer the question put to you by other posters what your
background in publishing is to be so sure of what you write.
I gave you the best job description for a magazine editor yesterday, from
Henry Luce: "All great editors are men able to see how stories, episodes,
and personalities flow and merge one into the other to reproduce the
pattern of a world that only their own inner eye perceives."
What this means is that I am given carte blanche by the management of the
company that owns Stereophile to decide what content is appropriate to
offer readers of the print magazine and surfers of the magazine's website.
In that respect, there is no editorial board to whom I report, nor even
an editorial director. The only people to whom I report are the magazine's
readers and as Stereophile has a larger circulation than all other
English-language high-end audio print magazines combined, those readers
seem to be okay with my decisions. And as that is the case, so are my
company's management.
When that changes, you have a point. But until that time, you don't.

You have not answered a question posted to you THREE times..will you be posting any all Open Letters by other manufacturers?
I will answer: I was a contributing editor to a major university newspaper for 4 years. I interface with contributors and editor to high profile entertainment publications weekly. I have never been a professional editor or journalist.
I have no interest in your corporate structure.
I have every absolutely every right to voice my opinion that I would prefer a transition. And orderly one at that, contrary to the assertion of another trolling poster.
You can continue to defend your decision with highly questionable reasoning and excuses, and it was your decision to make, no doubt, but NO OTHER PUBLICATION took the bait. I am also free to point that out.
For the record I do not believe in corporate oversight of editorial decisions.

Thank you for clarifying the context for your questions. The reality is
that you have no relevant experience to call my behavior as a magazine
editor into question. All I can suggest is that if you are that unhappy
with how I perform my job, you should stop subscribing to Stereophile.

Yet you repeatedly questioned my authority to make the editorial decisions
with which you disagreed. I offered you an explanation in response to
your questioning but now you say you are _not_ interested?

As no-one else has approached me, nor is there any way of my knowing if
such a letter would be newsworthy or not, your question cannot be answered
other than by saying "it depends."

No, I did not question your authority, I questioned your judgement. Please quote back where I questioned your authority to publish what you please?
Yet, Still no answer to my question , just more Butt Hurt ...... Smh
I had asked before to no avail, is Mr Garvey a cable manufacturer ? industry affiliation ...?
Garvey does bring a lot of angst to the table, frankly if SP had never posted the letter and Mr Garvey hadn't blown a gasket over it , i would never have had a clue as to the issue at hand with AQ ...
Thank you both ..:)
