hi ashley,
i have read many of your postings, and can say honestly that you have been mostly profesional in your comments and answers to shall we say "at times" very trying characters on here.what you dont seem to get is that people no matter how well a product is reviewed, or even if it can be proven that its the best thing since sliced bread is people like to have a choice! and i think i speak for all of us on here you included, when i say we are all at the end of the day, music lovers, but we perceive things diffrently to each other. at the end of the day what i am trying to say is, as good as your procducts probably are, and can be proven with test gear and such that they are, people will still want to be able to choose! for instance, why arent we all driving round in ford mondeos! their exceptionaly good cars! [humour me here] lets look at its statistics, it has four wheels, seats five people, comfortably, it has reasonable fuel economy, it goes very well, its not ugly, and so on, but we dont all want one! if it were forced upon us, we would rebel, no matter how good it is!
people on here, [for what i have seen of them since i joined] get upset because they percieve what your about as threatning their ability to think and judge for themselves what they should be listening to and buying etc, me i dont see you that way, infact i voted and expressed my views that there shouldnt be any constraints on what people can and cant discuss on this forum! but my friend you will have to except that you cannot, and will not please everybody all of the time, so, stop beating yourself up!
if i ever get a chance to listen to any of your products, i will, and i will make up my own mind, and tell you my findings.
and by all-means look me up, see what i am about...
i used to get upset, and wonder why some people can be certain ways, but i learnt that people will be people no matter how you try to educate, or prove things to them, so concentrate on the ones that want your help,and apriciate what you do, and what your about, thats what i do...
