[HAM] Leslie 3300

[Cliff Spencer]

Hi Steve,
My point was that I don't think Keyboard could bring itself to say 
anything negative about any product and therefore don't find them 
credible. I suppose this is true of most magazines that are reviewing 
the products made by their advertisers. I have no axe to grind with 
the new Leslie.
Cheers,
