So why are you _still_ bringing this issue up, in an unrelated thread?

It wasn't a cursory statement. It was a clear expression of the
_fact_ that Wes never received review samples of the Gallo speakers,
and _that_ was the reason Stereophile did not publish a review. Why
that wasn't the end of the matter when I first explained it you is
beyond my imagining.

It may not have been unreasonable but as I explained to you several
times now, your interpretation was wrong. Incorrect. Erroneous. Why
you continue to insist that you are right is rather sad, in my
opinion.

>Wes said he was going to do something that he was apparently not

Perhaps Wes didn't followup on his original request (he certainly has
written many reviews for Stereophile since that time and his schedule
is currently full until the end of the year); perhaps he did followup,
but Gallo felt a review in Stereophile would not be in their best
interest; why does it matter to you? Why does it matter enough, in
fact, that you keep bringing this matter up on multiple Internet
forums and implying that Stereophile has behaved in an underhanded
manner?
