Last response, promise. "Smacks of racism"? I simply asked if Brazilians shared my point of view - Astrud IS a Brazilian, and Brazilians have varying opinions of her talent. No, I am not using a review venue as a chat room - I was responding to (like your "review") a personal attack. I did not start the rudeness. Yes, I am an audio engineer - no, I do not "claim to know everything". If you read my ORIGINAL review, you will see that I have an opinion that I expressed politely. Only after I was attacked personally (twice now) did I go any further. Such silliness!!
