A differing view of the widescreen/fullscreen debate...

See:

http://www.angelfire.com/pa/ussdefiant/rebuttal.html

Was pretty upsetting to read the article. For example:

Tell the FCC and your congresspeople that we DON'T want HDTV with its different dimensions and tell electronics stores that we DON'T want DVD players with their built in letterboxing/lettershlocking censorship function.
Is a pretty old page last updated 5/20/99. But still...

Hasn't this site been proven a spoof, or hoax.

The author of that page is actually a pro-widescreen person who is reprinting someone's irrational anti-widescreen rant. If you click on the underlined portions you can see his rebuttals in pop-up boxes.

The original has been around since I got into DVD back in 99.
