- I went looking for this article at newstands (couldn't find it) and the
- local library (could only find the December issue, not January). I'll still
- try to read the article, but after checking out a December wire (oops,
- INTERCONNECT) review, I'm certainly not going to consider merely the fact
- that such an article appeared in Stereophile as grounds to discard my usage
- of the phrase 'bogus techno-hype'.
