Flashunlock,
What you characterize as moaning is a thread that was initiated to elicit ideas and opinions. And it has done just that. I am certainly not the only person who feels as I do.You may note that there are others besides me who have expressed themselves in this thread in a manner that is contrary to your opinions. Nevertheless, you have the perfect right to hold and express your opinions -- as everyone does.
I would not presume to tell you that others are tired of listening to you and that you should shove off. We may not always like what we read here. That's the way life is on the forums. No one is forced to read threads and opinions they do not want to read. If we all conformed to certain ideas this would be a very boring place to visit.
I don't believe we need to walk on egg shells worrying about SR or other manufacturers when we express our opinions in these threads. Ted Denney and others are very capable of defending themselves and of rebutting statements that they feel are inaccurate. Many manufacturers take the opportunity to do so here. As it should be.
Neither you nor I know what affect this may actually have on SR or other companies. If it gets them thinking about these matters, that is a step in the right direction, IMO.
Gloria,
"Dropping ways". Very well put.
