Contrary to what is implied on James Randi's website, neither of
these products has been reviewed in Stereophile.


Atkinson...uses the hedge word "implied"


Yes, because in this specific instance, The Amazing Randi follows
his discussion of Stereophile with comments on reviews of the
Shakti and Bybee devices without attributing those reviews with
the publication in which those reviews appeared.


So what? Atkinson, I imply from what you say that you are being
hyper-sensitive to having Randi mention Stereophile's favorable reviews of
snake oil products like the "Audiodharma Cable Cooker" too close to Randi's
mention of other snake oil products that Stereophile somehow missed
publishing a favorable review of.

The reader is thus
left with the impression that those reviews were published in
Stereophile.


I imply from http://www.randi.org/jr/120304youve.html that the subsequent
mention of the "Shakti Hallograph Soundfield Optimizer" is attributed to
Wayne Donnelly, not Stereophile. Or, did I miss Wayne Donnelly's implied
recent affiliation with Stereophile?

And to judge by the e-mails I get since James Randi
published my address on his site, people _do_ get that impression.


I imply that you handled those emails with your usual congeniality
Atkinson - you told the writers that they can't read? ;-)
