RE: So...

>I'm sorry Mr. Atkinson, I see nothing more than a pissing contest where
>you present yourself as more "ethical" than Mr. Harley.

Sorry you feel that way. Look, I don't care if you prefer TAS over
Stereophile, or Mr. Harley's policies over mine. That is your right.
But there a is real difference between the editors and magazines that
came out in the "Ask the Editors" session at the recent California show:
that I believe reviewers should purchase components when practicable for
use as long-term references and that Mr. Harley believes they shouldn't.
Both of our actions conform to those beliefs. As the two magazines are
in competition, I feel this difference should be borne in mind when the
two are compared.

>please slack a little on vendetta, or at least, try to keep it private,
>because this does not play in your favor.

This is not a vendetta; it is a real and I believe significant difference
between the two magazines' policies. I have not said anything critical of
Mr. Harley, only that I believe his publicly stated policy is the
antithesis of my own. I fail to grasp why my referring to Mr. Harley's
publicly expressed policy "does not play in [my] favor."

Technical Editor, Stereophile
