I understand your point, Scott. I'm simply pointing out that I've not
been part of the George vs Others argument. I find it all quite
distasteful, to say the least. I wasn't defending George, per se, when
I pointed out the flaw in your other post.

But on your present point, I will say this: Yes, I understand your
paragraph above. I'm relatively new to this NG, so I don't know who
started the vitriol between George and Arny, et al, nor am I about to
spend time going to Google to search what I presume would be hundreds
(thousands?) of posts. I don't have a horse in this race. Though I
agree, in general, with George's views in matters audio, I think that
both sides are acting like badly behaved children.
