Why not? The OP clearly attempted to get BC to correct this oversight or blatant cash grab, in complete privacy. They failed to do so or even bother to answer. They were given the opportunity to correct the situation and chose not to do so. So now they deserve to either be publicly shamed or at least have the community at large become aware of what they're up to. An Internet forum reaches a LOT of like-minded people (with disposable incomes, I might add!) Of all the avenues available to the OP, it is, by far, the best medium to expose their practices to the greatest number of people. And what's more, it's finely targeted to the people who actually purchase these products - a letter to the New York Times, say, would actually reach less interested people who were not as inclined to purchase BC products. I used to associate Bel Canto with "a bunch of high-end audiophile companies that I may be able to buy something from someday". I now put them in their own group - "a high-end audiophile company that I will never buy anything from someday". Ethics in marketing and business is severely lacking these days. There's an increasing feeling the consumer is growing sick and tired of it and unethical practices are being exposed and publicly ridiculed. That is exactly as it should be. These companies richly deserve it. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31562 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
