Sorry for all the obscurity. It was quite modestly meant as a mockery of the kind of mentality that gets people to jump at the chance of launching a 258-post onslaught on an article that no more than one person has read.Thus also that "young boys" was basically nothing more than a reference to the acolytes following their opinion leaders named earlier, so I am afraid I never meant to include you in that category...
The last line was a semiprivate joke meant to schematically connect with a recent string of situational humor by poster Richard BassNut Greene.
Thanks for supplying all that additional information about your interesting and quite pioneering experiments (and also of those given his own interpretation by J. Atkinson). You guys are the hard workers. Moreover, this is an issue that has been on my mind and I'm curious to learn more.

Now THAT I can really appreciate.

Ah, I knew it was too good to be true.

Oh yes! I remember a 'discussion' a few years ago about an article by Tom Nousaine in Stereo Review describing a Geek and Tweak systems test which at most two or three here had actually read. It was truly pitiful!
I don't think E. Brad minded being called "young" any more than I would!

One tries to pre-empt any possibility for open, unprejudiced debate if one can't afford such.As you point out, they like doing that sort of a thing. I'm pretty convinced there are more than the two or three occasions when I've seen John Atkinson here "accidentally" slip out a wholly unsubstantiated rumour (or not even rumour but an insinutation claimed to be something that people "in the know" had "confidentially" told him "in private" which privilege he had promised "to respect," and so forth - all that crap) about his competitors in the business, only to backtrack just enough a couple of days later when pressed on the issue, with the vocal regrets that quite unfortunately, for the time being he was not in a position to speak more about the subject (back up his claims, in other words) due to some circumstance or another, like the advise of his lawyers (clearly good advise if that's what he got), etc., etc.
Oh well, the story was already out and nothing to do about it now!
(And yes I can paste the stuff here if anyone's interested.)
So, nothing new if Charles Hansen and his disciples now opt for the same strategy. Only I can't see why he feels like he should be so worried (apart from being a manufacturer of SACD capable players). clarkjohnsen everyone already knows; that's his sole mode of operation, but I don't take him seriously since it's very unprobable that too many do that anyway. (Strike that; I just saw another post by someone claiming to do so. Everything's possible, then.)
Yet it doesn't cease to astonish me. It's kind of like not how you were told at primary school we do these things.
