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.

I wonder if the concellation caused you surprise or---dare I say
it?--grief?

No. None.

Was the possibility discussed before publication?

I have no idea. I don't discuss advertising with companies.

Did you contact Tice beforehand to warn them the review would
contain negative material?

Not a warning, no. But every manufacturer whose products are
reviewed in Stereophile is sent a preprint of the edited review, so
that they can prepare a "Manufacturer's Comment" letter for
publication. This happened with our Tice coverage, as with every
other review.

Did you feel before agreeing to the review that there was an
inherent conflict of interest (since you were carrying Tice ads).

No.

Have you since agreed to review products you carry advertising
for?

Stereophile reviews approximately equal numbers of products
from advertisers and non-advertisers.

Is there now a tendency to shy away from reviewing products
you carry advertising for?

No. Why should there be?

Do you like ice cream?

Yes, but I do try to remember that ice cream is basically lard, sugar,
and ice.

Does that help if you're trying to remember how to spell Arnii Krooborg's
name? Apparently my refusal to eat ice cream every day has, in fact,
interfered with that important aspect of my memory.

BTW, paul packer is impervious to patronizing.

Actually I'm not sure I understand your statement.

Watch those empty calories, old man.

As I read it, John was mock-patronizing in response to your attempt to be
jocular about the deadly serious business of audio publishing. I could be
wrong, of course. (But probably not.)

I'm a whale these days. At 20 I weighed 8 stone. Now I'm nearly 60 and
twice that.

there's a shadow hanging over me

I'd have said unhelpful or a little defensive rather than patronising.
But as this whole business is a minefield, with any mis-statement by
John likely to be pounced on by any number of posters, that's
understandable.

Hmmm. What an interesting answer. I had a sudden vision of a naked

But no less delicious for that. :-)
