Larry, I think the sad reality is that the only people on Head-Case that might have some interest in your impressions are also active on Head-Fi, so it continues to boggle my mind why you persevere in trying to win over or fit in with the HC crew. Demanding apologies -- or even wanting them -- and complaining about your treatment are pretty much antithetical to the HC way, for better or worse. Plus, why would you want to put yourself in a position where you have to justify each and every statement and still "put on your flame suit" and expect to be "ripped apart"? I just don't get it when you have a perfectly good reputation and position on HF. Maybe it's just an example of the old Groucho Marx line, and you don't care to belong to any club that would accept you as a member.
