Gene I hope you know when I first saw your post and like many others I thought it was B.S. I now know that it was for a worthy cause and am glad I have gotten to know you a bit better. You seem like a good guy and I would rather be told personally the truth than be told a lie and again regards to anyone who disagrees with me no offense meant

Just my $0.02 that nobody asked for. I found this thread because another thread pointed it out. The instant I opened the thread I discounted any and all credibility of the original poster. A message typed in one huge block in all caps is not professional and it is going to turn a lot of people, such as myself, off immediately.

You might be completely right, you might be completely wrong. I don't know and frankly I don't care because I knew all I needed to know about the issue just by looking at how it was posted.

Your two cents is worth one cent. If you don't care then why bother posting a remark? I know, you want to stir up S**T and then sit back and watch.

I know what you mean and I use to think the same way, but I’ve learned that you can’t judge people like that. A lot of people don’t use computers much, have limited typing skills, aren’t the best w/ punctuation & grammar, have things like dyslexia, etc..

Allow me to give you a little friendly advice. Slamming the mods and the administration, when you have no idea what may be going on behind the scene accomplishes nothing. And FYI, the mods here are not paid so yes they do have other jobs by neccessity, lives, etc. It is also a reasonable policy that they allow things like this to run their course, hopefully to an amicable conclusion for the parties involved. If something eventually needs to be done and it is within their power to do it, they can and will take appropriate steps. All that is accomplished by incessant ranting, especially by parties not involved, may be the thread being locked and possibly those who go overboard being banned. A word to the wise.

Hopefully, we can agree to disagree and no banning will and/or would be necessary.

By the way, most of this thread watchers are probably like me. I'm anxiously awaiting a reply from EM. If EM replied and said, go to hell, at least we would have heard something from them. On a thread that's eight pages long, they should have commented.

Like everyone else; I'm waiting the read that the right thing was done.

I would hope you are right. But in my opinion, someone is dangling on the precipice of such action already.

I dont really think its appropriate to measure the credibility of the original poster by the format he used in his posting, or bad grammar or spelling or whatever. BTW your '2 cents' is always worth a heck of a lot on this forum.

Kid, the moderators here do a damn good job. I also agree
alot of people just aren't proficient in typing or computer skills. One piece of information for some of the newbies is this-those little stars you refer to happen because there are alot of people here dedicated to helping others-learning and passing it on. We may not always agree-but that's life-post a problem and there'll be someone there to help you,
or support you. And alot of us have had several vettes, tried several types of mods, new products, experienced unique problems and infact done a hellava lot of research. This-we wish to pass on. Including good or bad experiences with vendors.Most people here I consider my brothers-even if we disagree at times.Offering someone advice as to do their research is not considered starting a flame-your comments on the other hand! out.
