Re: "I make no demands on DBTs or on anyone."

My point is: If someone has the academic background (even self-taught) and experience to give a paper at the AES or IEEE, they achieve credibility in my book. Knowing the politics of the AES, it is possible that an interesting paper will NOT make it into the 'Journal of the AES', but this is not important.
It is the effort to put together a paper, with measurements, listening trials, etc that says to me that this person has ACTUALLY DONE SOMETHING in the pursuit of audio quality.

I have no disagreement with any of that. Unfortunately, it has virtually nothing to do with my issue with Clark, which involves simple common respect and courtesy.


I see you and others much like a general who demands that the area be taken and secure, without having to do it himself. Sometimes the price is too great, and you just have to live with what is practical or even possible at any given time. I know that some of our military personal have this problem, even in this war, from outside commentators criticizing specific conditions without being there.

Please tell me exactly what comment I have made about the war that would cause you to say that about me. I have expressed no view publicly regarding the conduct of the war. Perhaps you overheard me telling my wife that, in my opinion, Iraqi Freedom is the single most impressive military campaign I have ever witnessed, and perhaps you feel I'm not entitled to such an opinion.

I also understand as a veteran I swore an oath to defend and protect the constitution, which includes the First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech. I have little respect for those who want to silence people simply because they are judged as unworthy of having an opinion. I do respect those who, when confronted with an opinion with which they disagree, address the content of that opinion and argue on the merits, as opposed to attempting to discredit and belittle the person with whom they disagree.

As it relates to my discussion with Clark, please show me where I criticized anything he has done professionally. I stated my opinion and he told me that my opinion didn't matter. I asked questions and I was accused of demanding. It is his arrogant and rude behavior as directed at me that I have an issue with.
