As one of the editors once told me, "...not the advertisement bugaboo again."

Thanks for the spelling corection guy's . It's kind of like having my exwife back . 

That should be, Thanks for the spelling correction, guys.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I obviously have too much time on my hands.

LMFAO!

I  too many hands on my watch, and and not enough feet in my listening room, and not enough time to be in there listening.

I don't have a lot of time on my hands and that's why I use a spell checker.

Am I the only one that finds reading less interesting when you have to correct spelling and grammar errors in your head? 

Poor grammar and spelling do not make a good impression. There is a spell checker in this forum's editor. Not using it is just lazy. For grammar there's Strunk and White. 

Two, to, too or their and there aren't going to show up in spell check. Besides, everyone loves watching the anal retentive spelling nazis show their asses.

Dammit and I was going to buy the YG Acoustics Anat and now this. 

Strunk and White is for grammar.

Sounds like the names of two new strains of weed.

All this going on about everything but the subject.  

To the point, I don't think it's too much to expect of such a magazine to edit and hold accountable it's ad copy, especially if incorrect statements are being put in to it's own mouth to sell the product.  It may be a fine product, but given the relative scarcity of really good audio magazines anymore, I think enough people rely on S'Phile to expect different.

Doesn't mean anyone stops reading the mag, but it's a fair assessment.  Give the guy a break.

With respect, it is too much to ask. The Chinese Wall that prevents advertising concerns from affecting editorial decisions and judgments - see www.stereophile.com/asweseeit/366/index.html - also works in the opposite direction: I dn't see the content of any specific advertisement until the issue arrives in my mailbox. When I feel an ad has crossed a line, I do subsequently let the publisher and ad reps know my opinion, but it remains their decisions on what, if anything, should be done about the matter.

Right now, I have absolute authority over Stereophile's editorial content. But if I were to demand that I have pre-publication control over advertising content, as you suggest, what is to stop the publisher asking for the same input into editorial content. That's not a road I want to go down.

Thanks for the perspective.
