Statements on technical or quality oriented matters are expected to be supported by the author responsible for such statements. If you, as a user, make a claim about the quality or general ability of an encoder/decoder/etc to perform in a given situation which happens to be contrary to pre-existing data, but then fail to provide proof to support your claims, you are likely to be receive harsh responses to your posts. The Hydrogenaudio staff might not take action against users that post these harsh responses.Explanation: By not providing proof of your claims, you are not only wasting your time, but the time of everyone else participating in the forums here. This is especially true for the authors of such codecs, who are then forced to wade through possibly false claims before they can actually work on addressing a valid issue. In the case of pointing out a quality problem with a given codec, the proper course of action would be to provide either a test sample, ABX testing results, or ideally both. Please be aware of this matter, the Hydrogenaudio community does not take it lightly. Please get serious and stop posting garbage, or you will be banned.
