Hi,
I can truthfully say that no one ever approached us with money to do so. And I wouldn't have taken any money if someone did. I could see right through the charade at the beginning when all the listening tests and basis for comparison were suspect.
But I will say that MQA didn't seem pleased when I published the article linked below. I had a long talk with Bob Stuart before it went live and nothing he said convinced me I shouldn't publish it.
BTW, I was the first press person I know of to look at the format critically -- and when I did, I had a bunch of the shill writers on the bandwagon trying to discredit what I was saying. Most of these changed their tunes a few years ago, like they weren't shilling it in the first place.
