I think, Mr. Sinatra, that you're missing an important point. He didn't take the car back to the dealer.
We told him several times to call support at slim. He came (in your analogy) to a car club or a swap meet, a group of enthusiasts anyways, and complained. We thought he was looking for help, tried to help, now we're here. As for the idea that "this is an enthusiast site, no complaints allowed", have you actually been reading other threads? There are dozens of complaints daily, some turn into support like threads, some turn into grumbling, etc. But to come in swinging, saying "the clown who wrote this should go back to school", well, it's uncalled for and I find it disrespectful. I don't have thin skin. As I've said before, he didn't bother me at all, but he did bother some other people. Maybe they were having a bad day. Maybe they took it more personally. Whatever. There does seem to be a double standard, that he can jump all over people but expects nothing to happen in response. Newtons' law ... every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I don't think we're a bunch of cheerleaders here ... there are things I wish Dan, Sean and Dean had done differently. And I've told them so, sometimes in open forum, sometimes in private email. But it wouldn't occur to me to call them interns (or other names) because I have too much respect for the documented body of work they've done. In the end, I think that's the issue. They may have made a mistake in coding, they may have made a mistake in design, but that doesn't make them amateurs or interns or clowns. Except on April 1st. I have a lot of respect for what Slim has done, for doing the sort of quality of work I would have done if it had been my company and my time. They do good work. The slim client, the server, the trade-offs, etc. Some of the tradeoffs I would have done in a slightly different place, some things I would have chosen to do somewhat differently, but basically they've been transparent and clear about their direction, much more than most technology companies I've dealt with. Try to get the sort of co-operation we get daily from Slim out of Voyetra, or Microsoft, or Creative or any of these guys. Hasn't happened to me ever. So I think we need to have a little more respect for Slim in this forum. And for each other. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26350 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
