That's exactly right

Thank you Dave. The "As We See It" is akin to a serial presentation of
op-ed pieces. The only ones where it is clear that an editorial policy
or point of guidance is being made are when I write an essay and make
it clear that I am speaking on behalf of the magazine.

I guess the "As We See it"concept started to change when Gordon Holt
started to invite other writers to contribnute essays, back in the
1970s.

I note that Charlie Hansen disagrees with you on this, but as
Stereophile's editor, I would have thought that my definition wins
on trumps :-)

I should also note that I don't believe Charlie is getting rich on
selling the equivalent of chips to chumps. You can find my opinion
of Charlie's abilities in the mid-May Stereophile eNewsletter, BTW.
