Tvad - I think I understand, and I certainly respect what you had to say in your post beginning "Gentlemen and ladies..." I do not see the posts as "attacks" per se, which is why I did not use that word. Nor do I "...support that which cannot, or will not, be verified". I take no position on the RC business, as I would need to hear both the RC and the cheaper duplicator results for myself, no matter what George Louis says. I agree wholeheartedly with you with regard to the value of questions and discussion. I just don't know how anyone could answer the very reasonable question "...if there is another burner containing identical Plextor drives that produces the same changes." That is, without listening to both. So far, to my knowledge, George Louis is (presumably) the only one who has done that.
I do see SOME of the posts on Audiogon to be primarily about denigrating individuals, sometimes thinly veiled, and sometimes not. In some cases, in fact, I see nothing about equipment or music in them at all. Then there are those individuals who clearly now have a pattern of being almost always negative, and/or "baiting" other people (please understand I am not talking about you! :) It appears that a couple of the recent posts which moved me to ask the question I did of the board (and were examples of what I am speaking of) have been removed, so I cannot refer you to them to read. What I said yesterday to the board had absolutely nothing at all to do with George Louis and his responsibilities.
