The Bug Eater pleads for protection from the big, bad Snake Oil Establishment.

Following Stereophile's coverage of
the Tice Clock, Tice canceled all of its advertising and has
had nothing to do with the magazine since. Regarding the Shakti
Stone, I had it reviewed by two people, one a high-end true
believer, the other a skeptic. Both reported similar impressions,
which I admit I found surprising. You can find the entirety of
Stereophile's coverage of these products in the magazine's free
on-line archives at www.stereophile.com, BTW..
[This] is quite definitely the publishing of opinion.

You allowed to be printed,[sic] priase[sic] for a device for which you have
(allegedly) the capability to measure the effects of[sic], but did not do so.
The fact that it's[sic] efficacy was never verified is at the very least
stupid and sloppy, and at worst an endorsement of snake oil,[sic] not that
that's anything new.

Mickey, your ranting raises more than a few questions about your mental
competency. On the one hand, you claim these devices are "snake oil" (an
American idiom that means "worthless or fraudulent goods"). On the other hand,
you bleat about Stereophile not telling you they are "snake oil". Just one
question for you before you go back to banging your head on the sidewalk: If you
already know what you know, why do you need Stereophile to tell you anyway?
