Have some genres not benefited from the tools of the loudness war? I have a very hard time imagining genres such as dubstep and drum and bass, that rely lots on compression and processing, not being negatively affected by ending the loudness war. I know that a lot of this is done during the mixing stage and not squashed during the mastering stage.

Do you have an example of an album or song were the effects of the loudness war is visible, and would otherwise have sounded a lot better without what was done at the mastering stage? A strong example preferably to help educate the public.

Are the musicians you work with as torn as you mastering engineers when it comes to the loudness wars? :)

Have you been able to get the support of some of the infamous mastering engineers who played a big role in the loudness wars?
