I don't disagree. But even ignoring the intentional spread of FUD and misinformation (for money), I'd even settle for more reliance on facts, evidence, and rigor by folks that don't have money on the table. The "false equivalence" of two sides to a question that the media seems to use (even if there are actual facts that make one side "truth" and the other side "false") drives me crazy sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
