No problem. I knew you were kidding. I was referring to
others who think I am afraid of the guy. Even if he could
put an end to my writing career (which I am on the verge of
ending, anyway, simply because of my losing interest),

Lets be honest here, Howard. You just did not succeed, plain and simple.
:-)

The big question should be: is this little hobby of ours
worth all the trouble I have put forth? In the past I would
have said yes. Now, I am not so sure. For one thing,
high-end audio is probably going to die out, anyway, except
for a very small handful of extreme types like you. Atkinson
and his crew can entertain them down the line on a very
small scale.

I would certainly not be afraid of him.

I see. You just prefer to stick your head in the sand out of sheer respect
for John Atkinson.

They guy has become master of a fool's paradise.

We get it now! :-) But don't worry, Howard. You're way
too insignificant for him to try to end your "writing career". He's just a
little bored and likes to kick you around a little to amuse the rest of us.
:-)

You seem to know what is on his mind, which is further proof
that you probably work for the guy. You kind of come across
like that idiot Scull, to tell the truth.
