- Whether or not Mr. Pierce ever achieves the goal he seeks is beside the
- point. His efforts should not be measured in terms of whether or not
- he reaches his goal, but instead he should be commended for the very fact
- that he *attempts* to reach it. This is certainly an admirable trait;
- one which I respect very much. I appreciate Mr. Pierce's efforts to prevent
- the propogation of misinformation in this public forum. I'm relatively new
- to the world of audio and I don't have the enormous background, expertise and
- experience needed to ascertain what is, or is not, correct in every instance.
- Thus, anyone's efforts to clear up untruths is greatly appreciated. I'm sure
- I'm not alone in this sentiment.
-
- However, it does seem Mr. Pierce has recently been a little hard on some
- people who were, in fact, only trying to help. So I would not urge Mr. Pierce
- to stop flaming, but perhaps instead, I urge him to flame a little less
- vehemently. As long as the correct information is conveyed, there's no need
- for anyone's feelings to be hurt (and there's certainly no need for anyone
- to end up with a "Fisher rack system" :-).
