Just that this was a long time ago John, and it has been bothering
you ever since. All I am saying is that despite you and Bob
complaining privately, neither of you did so to me, or to Jonathan
despite the many occasions we have met in person since 1993. Had you
done so, I would have resolved the matter.

You didn't want me to resolve the matter when you raised on the
Asylum last June, but given that it is still an issue for you, I
feel it should be resolved, in the manner I suggested in my postings
yesterday: given the sad fact that Bob is no longer with us, I will
send the SPLC a check for $200 and I assume that my doing so will be
the end of the matter.

I have been worrying about _why_ you or Bob did not want to raise the
matter with me, John. I hope you weren't concerned about retaliation
of any kind. Please be assured that I respect the fact that loan
equipment remains the property of the manufacturers and they have
every right to ask for it back when they need it back. If there
_are_ any manufacturers reading this who have equipment on loan to
Stereophile reviewers and who are nervous about requesting its
return, feel free to email me. I will gladly arrange for its return.

And as I said, John, you owe me a beer. :-)
