Re: If Mr. Atkinson won't, I will

"Yes, I'll be taking a look at the Gallo Ref 3s as soon as I clear some previous commitments off the deck. Of course, if JA commissioned more than one review a month from me and stiffed all those other reviewers, I might get there faster."

This is what Mr. Philips wrote. You honestly mean to suggest that from this statement that Wes WILL be taking a look at the Gallo speakers as soon as he gets previous commitments off the desk I was supposed to interpret that he really was "thinking" about it, and that it was unreasonable for me to interpret that he had them for review? You mean that when a reviewer says that he WILL review them I should assume he does not have them, and is "thinking" about it?

"If you are so concerned about it, why don't you call up Gallo and ask them why they didn't supply the speakers for review?"

I could care less whether Gallo wants to supply something for review, or whether Stereophile wants to review them. I do care that people do what they say they are going do. But then I generally give words their ordinary meanings. I guess in the publishing world, which I am not a part of, when someone says they are going to do something, that does not mean they are going to do it. Apparently, in the manufacturing world too.

Though in my world when you say you are going to do something, you do it, else you look for another line of work. But in my life, representations mean something. Apparently, they do not in the manufacturing or the publishing worlds.

And given that this dialog does not involve you or your company, and you apparently have no personal knowledge as to any of the pertinent facts, I am not sure why you felt the need to leap in, other than you like to feud. Talk about getting on with your life.
