LMAO ! That's worth giving Atkinson a hard time over - subjective or not !

Do you have these articles handy ?

Kal gave you the URL for Stereophile's coverage of the Tice Clock.
Hardly the ringing endorsement the original poster appears to think,
as Tice canceled all of its advertising following publication.

This is an interesting revelation as it touches directly on the cause
of much of the hostility around here toward hi-fi mags. I wonder if
the concellation caused you surprise or---dare I say it?--grief? Was
the possibility discussed before publication? Did you contact Tice
beforehand to warn them the review would contain negative material?
Did you feel before agreeing to the review that there was an inherent
conflict of interest (since you were carrying Tice ads). Have you
since agreed to review products you carry advertising for? Is there
now a tendency to shy away from reviewing products you carry
advertising for? Do you like ice cream?

Sorry. The last question was just to see if you were still reading.
