What puzzles me is why you and others are so much more upset by this piece
in Stereophile than you appear to be by the "pay-for-play" strategy adopted
by some writers. All I can do is assure my readers that as long as I remain
at Stereophile's helm, there won't be any "pay-for-play" operating at Stereophile.
