You can tell that Howard is really "afraid" of the limey sleazeball. Tweakos really take themselves WAY too seriously, and see all of these teapot tempests as major warfare. That I, an individual who is basically retired and writing mainly to learn something about audio products and have a bit of fun, is "afraid" of someone like Mr. Atkinson is preposterous. Howard, my reply to "Maggie" was intended as sarcasm. I did not mean to imply that you actually were "afraid" of the limey blowhard. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. I believe that Mr. Atkinson is an opportunist who, first and foremost, must keep his magazine in business. That he so openly contests the obvious advantages of the DBT protocol tells me that he is not really all that interested in popularizing the rational side of audio. And he has a good reason for this attitude. Money talks at $tereopile. The writer Harry Crews published a novel years ago entitled The Gospel Singer. It is about an Elmer Gantry style con artist who eventually becomes guilt ridden and stands up in front of his very rough, emotional and country red-neck congregation and confesses that he has been feeding them a bunch of claptrap for years. The congregation rises out of its collective seats and kills the guy right up there at the front of the church. Years of deceit finally revealed will have its payback, and I assume that guys like Mr. Atkinson are fully aware of what the tweakos would do to his magazine (and what the magazine owners would do to him as a result) if he fessed up and spilled the beans.

Of course, you don't take YOURSELF too seriously, or take the hobby too seriously... I believe that Mr. Atkinson is an opportunist who, first and foremost, must keep his magazine in business. That he so openly contests the obvious advantages of the DBT protocol tells me that he is not really all that interested in popularizing the rational side of audio. And he has a good reason for this attitude. The writer Harry Crews published a novel years ago entitled The Gospel Singer. It is about an Elmer Gantry style con artist who eventually becomes guilt ridden and stands up in front of his very rough, emotional and country red-neck congregation and confesses that he has been feeding them a bunch of claptrap for years. The congregation rises out of its collective seats and kills the guy right up there at the front of the church. He also published Body, which showed how pride comes before a fall. The only difference between you and the protagonist is that the protagonist was a female bodybuilder and you are the figurative 98 lb. weakness. BTW, your fellow Gainesvillian is a GREAT writer with a very muscular style. Unlike you, sadly. |

The only difference between you and the protagonist is that the protagonist was a female bodybuilder and you are the figurative 98 lb. weakness. You want to read some really rough Crews? Try Feast of Snakes. Have you ever met Crews? I took a course from him at the junior college in Broward County before he published his first novel. During that time, I spent time in his office talking to him about a variety of subjects. (No doubt, he has completely forgotten the encounter.) Anyway, the guy looked like he could fold over a telephone pole and wrap it around a house. He once got mad at a student who was mouthing off in class and I really thought that Crews was going to reach out and physically destroy the guy. (Crews also was a martial arts enthusiast.) Later on, when he had published several more novels and I had long departed from Broward County and he had moved on to the University of Florida to teach creative writing, I saw a picture of him and he looked downright dangerous. I am not kidding. I mean he looked lethal. This was not a guy anybody would want to cross. One writer who interviewed him said that when he first met Crews he was actually scared of him. BTW, your fellow Gainesvillian is a GREAT writer with a very muscular style. Unlike you, sadly. I am not in Gainseville and did not even go to school there, but I will agree that he is a great writer. I mean, he is modern America's philosophical red-neck version of Dostoyevsky. Did you ever get a chance to read some of his short material when it was published in Esquire? It drove some of those Yankee liberals who read the magazine crazy. Incidentally, I have an autographed copy of his book, Florida Frenzy. Incidentally, it is pointless to compare an accomplished novelist and short-story writers with somebody who writes books and articles dealing with a small-scale hobby like audio. I would imagine that Crews would consider anyone who is all wrapped up in audio (including me) as a time-wasting wimp. Howard Ferstler |

"If irony killed" That I, an individual who is basically retired and writing mainly to learn something about audio products and have a bit of fun, is "afraid" of someone like Mr. Atkinson is preposterous. It is preposterous. You are too stupid to be afraid of real issues about your career like plagiarism and fraud so it stands to reason you wouldn't be afraid of an editor of a magazine that would never hire you anyways. I believe that Mr. Atkinson is an opportunist who, first and foremost, must keep his magazine in business. That he so openly contests the obvious advantages of the DBT protocol tells me that he is not really all that interested in popularizing the rational side of audio. And he has a good reason for this attitude. You fraudulant tests certainly support his position that such tests are not really all that advantageous. The writer Harry Crews published a novel years ago entitled The Gospel Singer. It is about an Elmer Gantry style con artist who eventually becomes guilt ridden and stands up in front of his very rough, emotional and country red-neck congregation and confesses that he has been feeding them a bunch of claptrap for years. The congregation rises out of its collective seats and kills the guy right up there at the front of the church. I guess this fear will keep you from confessing your fraud. Years of deceit finally revealed will have its payback, and I assume that guys like Mr. Atkinson are fully aware of what the tweakos would do to his magazine (and what the magazine owners would do to him as a result) if he fessed up and spilled the beans. So says the fraud and plagiarist. Scott Wheeler |
