I would imagine that this is a bit of a conflict for you. If you were to
report that Trotsky's speakers are deficient, you might fear that I would
use the fact against him, and also against you, as in, "I told you so." I
promise you I will not do that. Regardless as to your judgment of these
speakers, you are a single observer, as fallible as the rest of us. Nor will
I concede that Trotsky's speakers are merchantable based solely upon your
observations. Yet with independent confirmations, your opinion counts
powerfully.

I have no conflict at all. I will simply report them as I experience
them. Then, people can do what I've always suggested that they do when
reading *any* critical commentary - first, consider the source,
second, try to factor in the known biases and knowledge of the
commentator, third, dovetail that with their own biases and
experiences, and fourth, take it all with a grain of salt.

I have *never* said or implied that my sole opinion will make Mr.
Singh's speakers marketable. That came out of left field, even for
you. I'm merely here as an observer as a courtesy to the group.
