    Sounds like a good idea to me. I shall put that on the list.

    I'm Confused.

    Default Blunt communications

    Seorirse and Werner,
    Keeping this debate friendly and just exchanging opinions, can I state an opposing view on the subject of communications and bluntness. (Sorry to Stan and others for going off topic).
    As I see it, communication is a two way process and involves one person imparting opinion, knowledge, facts or instructions to the other. It is not sufficient for the person doing the imparting to make his statement and then close down. The communication process is imperfect unless the receiving person fully understands what has been imparted to him. In other words the person doing the imparting is wasting his time and energies when the message is not fully understood by the receiver. All obvious stuff you might think.
    But if the manner in which the information is imparted is perceived as being off-putting, domineering, sarcastic, talked-down to, it increases the chances of the receiver not 'getting' the full message - waste of time all round IMHO.
    Courtesy costs nothing and, if it vastly increases your chances of communicating effectively, what's the objection?
    In short, bluntness vastly reduces te effectiveness of your communication IMHO. If you're happy accepting that you're being ineffective to some degree in your communications that's fine by me but don't start bleating (not saying you do ) when it becomes apparent that people have not taken notice of what you said.
    Rant over - back to Bushmaster design considerations

    Davek,

    I'd like to suggest another tip to aid communication.

    I find posts much easier to read if they have a blank line between each paragraph.

    Like this.

    Stan,

    You have "Headphone" on the Bushmaster and "Headphones" on the Caiman.

    I would say "Headphones" was correct, but it can go either way.

    Product consistency would seem to require "Headphones".

    My graphic designer friend Matt's ideas and half an hour in Photoshop that I should have been doing proper work resulted in this:




    No label on the selector but not sure it needs it - function is implied by its position.

    P.S Stan I admire you throwing your creation's appearance out for comment. Looks great the just the way it is and no doubt *sounds* incredible - which after all is the point.

    I'd give that top marks so far.
