Absolute Mystery


Leafing through the latest edition of The Absolute Sound tonight, I was surprised to see Robert Harley's half-page plug for Jonathan Valin's old out of print mystery novels, apparently now being revived for sale on Amazon's Kindle website. The plug does not appear to be a paid advertisement for Mr Valin's books. Rather, its just another article for the TAS readership to pore over. This strikes me as inappropriate and frankly unprofessional. Am I wrong?

Just my two cents but I do in fact read Stereophile,TAS and HiFi+ all for different strengths each affords me.
Yes in those three publications there are indeed MANY quirky characters about but no more then when I am with my audio buddies!
We start off listening and discussing all things audio but almost always go " off topic" due to one or another's crazy stories.
I value that part of them as much as they're musical knowledge!
Can we PLEASE dispense with the frivolous arguments,pointed comments and character assassinations ?
Those mentioned and other's on the staffs of each are giving there opinions and a little of themselves...Where is the crime?

It often times beats reading the repetitive drivel of fellow readers who seem to complain only to see they're post on a Forum or Letters section.
Enjoy the hobby,
