...I believe it was Art Dudley's column in the March Stereophile which provided details and that made this issue public.

I think you must be hard of thinking, "bjh." "Chinese Whispers" means
that the message became garbled in its passage. Yet if you compare
what Art Dudley wrote in his March issue column (available in
Stereophile's free on-line archives next Monday) with what Tom Martin
has now stated happened, you will see that Art was essentially
correct.
You may well feel that Art was out-of-line mentioning the Valin
incident, but that is both a matter of opinion and a very different
matter to accusing Art of disseminating a falsehood, which is what I
assume you mean by "Chinese Whispers."
And as Wendell Narrod asked earlier today, why _are_ you so bent out
of shape about what Art Dudley and I say and do, yet you give the
benefit of the doubt to TAS on a continual basis? Do you _work_ for
that magazine?

> means that the message became garbled in its passageI think you must be hard of comprehending as clearly I meant "Chinese Whispers" in the sense used by the "previous poster". Here's the content of the post in question:
---
"I believe they need to address it publicly, at the least, to maintain their credibility"And foster yet more unsubstantiated rumours? All we have at the moment are chinese whispers, it does not amount to a hill of beans, until someone actually publishes the details of the incident in print for public consumption, their current course of action is the course of least damage.
---Get it now, i.e. the part about "unsubstantiated rumours"?
Things such as augmenting the tale, exaggerating details, etc. are all aspect of the operation of Chinese Whispers (or Operator, or any of a number of other common names for it), and from that perspective Dudley certainly took liberties. However not need to recount, I've already had my say on the topic.
