A note on my attitude

I hope I’m not coming across too strident about the cable stuff I’ve been writing about lately. Or, rather, I hope my stridency is not putting readers off.

Please feel free to disagree with me on this or any other issue. Sadly, I have had to come to realise that I am not infallible. I’m unlikely to change my mind about this issue unless and until good evidence — well conducted double blind testing, a reasonably sized group, replicated — emerges. But I’m a stickler for such things.

So argue in comments about this or other things. If you find me too frustratingly close-minded for your taste, I hope you’ll stick around anyway and continue to enjoy the bits that you may find more valuable: drilling down into some of the finer detail on how some home entertainment technology works, for example.

Meanwhile I have a copy of Luc Besson’s first movie, The Last Battle, on Blu-ray to give away. This is an interesting movie. Not a great one, but interesting and well worth watching at least once. In a way it’s a little like watching El Mariachi: noticing how this movie was made with little more than pocket money, yet still manages to be quite effective. No box, but the same as a bought one. To go to the first to ask for it in comments. Australian postal addresses only.

All other comments welcome, of course.
