The safety of my PC screen, Mr. Atkinson? Would you like me to
publicly call you out for being the conman and huckster that you
are at the next Stereophile event, Mr. Atkinson?

Why not, Mr. Welch. Your dime, your foot, so to speak. The
next Stereophile Show takes palce at the Sheraton Gateway
Hotel at LAX, June 1-4, 2006. If you want to turn up at one
of the "Ask the Editors" sessions and confront me and my
writers, you have every right to do so.

It's a date then, Mr. Atkinson! See you in Los Angeles next June, you
conman, huckster and fraud.

And tell Mr. Fremer that he best behave himself.

Despite his bluster, Mr. Weclh never did turn at at HE2006 to
confront me as promised. Just another Internet ninnie who
only feels brave sitting behind his PC. You have to laugh :-)

Ya know, one of the easiest things to accomplish is to have raving kooks
attack you on the interwebs. Pretty much, all you have to do is show
up. Sort of like walking down certain steets in the city - stark raving
loonies will accost anyone and everyone who comes their way.

That said, please bear in mind that having a cadre of loonies arguing
against you is no proof of lack of looniness on one's own behalf.

HTH. HAND.

A "cadre of loonies"? Who's organizing the loonies into a "cadre"? Unless
you mean the Michigan Hive, of course -- that's a given.

"Joseph Welch" is a McCarty sockpuppet from way back.

The first signs of organization of the loonies has already appeared, with
the recent apparent email correspondence between Dr. Richard Graham and
Brian L. McCarty. You think Arny will be sucked into this evil vortex?



Sorry guys, forgery.

Luv,

Thank you. Now it's obvious why, despite the bluster, he
was a no show.

If you read the original thread, you can see that he already
was :-)
