I'd bet money that Atkinson never personally checked his site's web
logs before he made his angry little post.

Here's the deal. You see it as an angry little post, but it seemed a
rather disspasionate reporting that there wasn't a problem with the
link.

Weil just to refresh your memory, your bias in any matter involving me is
like a metaphorical telephone pole in your eye.

He didn't address you in any dismissive way like you did to him.

Sure he did. One word: "Wrong".

He simply said that your report was incorrect and that there wasn't a
problem with the link.

But my report was correct as stated. Atkinson said straight out that my
report was wrong. Yet without omniscience, he really has no way of knowing
whether my report was right or wrong.

He didn't make a personal ad hominem comment
about you at all as you did toward him.

Weil, I'm sure that in your personal dream world you have no comprehension
of the fact that Atkinson and I have what is known as "history".

If there's any anger in the
two posts, it seems to have come from your end.

I can come up with a hundred ways that Atkinson could have treated the
matter more factually and provoked zero heat.

What Atkinson could know at best is that there were no interruptions of
service at the server.

However, I'd bet that he didn't ever bother to check that. He simply tested
the link when he saw it and globally pronounced my earlier report wrong
without further investigation. This is BTW a common personality flaw of
his - he tends to make global pronouncements based on inadequate evidence.
The bad news is that Atkinson has made a profitable business out of making
global pronouncements based on inadequate evidence. Large segments of the
audio business suffer with this kind of bad logic.

Nailing shallow-thinking bozos like Atkinson on the grounds of claimed
omniscience is so easy that it has almost stopped being fun.

I'd bet that he lacks the interest
and/or ability to do so. But I could be wrong about this.

I wouldn't know one way or another. But I think it's just as likely
that the first thing he might do as an interested party is to have
checked the link to make sure that something hadn't gotten corrupted.

....and as an interested party I checked the link several times over a period
of several minutes and found that it was broken, but that every other part
of the web that I tested was working just fine.
