Ladies and gentlemen I do believe that our voices of reason are having an impact and have prompted the following two posts on the Audiostream web site:
http://www.audiostream.com/content/silent-majority#31HoU8w6GYKjiFpM.97 http://www.audiostream.com/content/silent-majority-speaks-out#MrSI1xaUy3dfo9xU.97 Now I know that the at least one member of this forum is among those banned by Audiostream, as per this paragraph: Michael Lavorgna wrote: > You may have noticed that of late, there's a pleasant lack of the usual > toxic comments here on AudioStream, something that has taken a bit of > moderating and time to accomplish.

My hope is this will encourage more of the silent majority to be > less silent so we can show people what our hi-fi hobby is really about. And I also know that in the case of at least one banned individual the ban was the result of that individual posting comments questioning Audiostream's methods and conclusions and NOT the result of that individual posting comments which were filled with name calling and foul language, which is something this individual would NEVER do. Seems to me that Audiostream's version of the hi-fi hobby is much like the good old Wizard of Oz - lots of smoke and mirrors but whenever someone tries to pull away the curtain to see what's behind all the smoke and mirrors that person gets banished from Oz. All of which leads me to say: Keep up the good work and hopefully sometime in the not to distant future the hi-fi hobby will once again be about good science, truth and honesty not filled with the lies and "magic" presented on sites like Audiostream.
