In Reply to: Art Dudley's March 2007 Column: What's That About? Long posted by nighteyes0 on February 18, 2007 at 06:47:35:
The reason for both Art's editorial and John's "As We See It" is to draw a contrast to the reprehensible behavior at another US magazine.One of the top reviewers at that magazine took a pile of cables worth tens of thousands of dollars that were on loan for review and sold them on Audiogon.
This is the action of someone that is either a crook or someone that expects bribes.
Either way, it is a shitty way to run a magazine. Further, in my opinion it makes the reviewing at that magazine completely untrustworthy.
Neither the editor or publisher of the other magazine seem to care that they have a corrupt reviewer working for them. And apparently nobody on this forum does either.
I do, so I have pulled all of our advertising from that other magazine.
