Please let me know if you hear from him, and if you are able to get the CD. I have 2-3/month asking this same question......Colin

If you didn`t understand this post/jokes , I doubt that even throughout explanation will help. But, I`ll try:

-MB said that if someone is catched in a lie, that he is a liar, and no matter what he said before and after, he is under suspicion

-I cited a little vulgar version of this "wisdom" from TV serie "OZ", it`s a good show, and if they said it on TV, I thought that it is possible to be cited here

- I put a "wisdom" under quotation marks, because truth of this saying is questionable (one friend of mine has a joke where he said that people are mean - if you just once have had sex with a man, they`ll call you a faggot for the rest of your life ).

-For the end, I`ll (about) cited one Thorsten`s saying:

"There`re two kinds of people - ones who get it and those who don`t. If you don`t understand the meaning of this - you belong to the former group."

Of course, the phrase goes like this:

"There`re two kinds of people - ones who get it and those who don`t. If you don`t understand the meaning of this - you belong to the later group."

Correction; if once you have sex with a man; you are gay. No going back on that ship. No refunds from that store.

Hey, MB - it`s easy to be some kind of metro-sexual or something... Especially for you, the residents of big cities which have subway/metro...

Hey; the subway is the ONLY thing I ride! Or my Schwinn 10 speed. My Norton is in the garage waiting for my son to grow older.

Peter Aczel's side of the story [message #3480 is a reply to message #3479] Tue, 15 August 2006 10:57 Go to previous messageGo to next message

I think Colin will enjoy the Audio Critic back issues. I know I do.

I'd love to hear Peter Aczel's side of the story on that review thing. I've heard a lot from manualblock, and publishing integrity is a hot-button topic for me so it resonates. But would like to hear the other side of the story too. The Audio Critic magazines were well written, the people that wrote articles were well respected and I agreed with many of the views expressed. So I'd like to know what Aczel has to say about the review John always talks about. I'd also like to know how customers were treated and if subscriptions were sold but publishing was irregular or stopped.

It would be interesting to hear Peter's side of the story.

Fast forward to the present. Has any magazine given a bad review to any product that buys ads? I think you'd be hard presses to find one. The only one that comes to mind was in audioXpress a few years ago, in which the tweeter in a DIY speaker was wired out-of-phase per incorrect instructions. The product got slammed for sound quality, but when wired correctly sounded great.....Colin
