You and the lawyer can have fun trying to see irony in my position. The fact is that the criticisms of Blu-ray were specious and the criticisms of HD DVD were significant. Instead of simply acknowledging that, the HD DVD adopters CHOSE to engage in character assassinations and all manner of ignoring basic facts about the format specs, sales and studio support. That observation is not personal attack (and therefore not ironic). It's an accurate assessment of what set the stage for bad blood on various forums where the formats were discussed. Even now that HD DVD will clearly go the way of the dodo, there is no hint of apology or even a "maybe you guys were right all along" from any of you HD DVD admirals, like Auph. In fact, he seems more intent than ever on screaming insults from the bow of his sinking battle ship. I would say it's unbelievable if I wasn't witnessing it first-hand.As for sad, I am the happiest camper on the forum right now, I guarantee it. So please save your pity for Auph and the other HD DVD adopters who got burned.
