  Rejoyce,


  I don't know who you are, so as to the validity of your broad brush approach to 'how the industry feel' I don't suppose I should comment.


  That said there have been occasions when prominent figures have spoken to forums direct, and I'm pretty sure there are far more examples where industry people get involved whilst retaining their anonymity. I recall not long back a thread involving John Dawson from Arcam, who replied a couple of times to a forum member (might have been on HFC actually) who had a specific Arcam related question. That for me is a great example of why forums are a good thing, and equally why they will become the norm rather than some subdivision of hifi culture.


  Frankly it seems ridiculous that more of the industry don't address forums more regularly and openly, it's a great way to measure reaction, opinion and perception. Sticking your head in the sand is no way to object to an issue (if indeed that was the point of the last post)


  I suppose the only danger is that by entering into the fray industry figures might feel a little overexposed and vulnerable, or be accused of shameless punting of their product, literary or mechanical. That may provide reason enough for abstinence from , but not derision of the forum concept.
