Sam you forget that thestatistical majority on this list don't often post much of anything, but rather use it as a source of information and fellowship with like-minded individuals. Most of the venders we rely on for our hobby are smallish operations, and we all depend on them to make or import the "really good stuff" we crave. It is ironic that I read your post after giving out a phone number and web site url for MM GliderTec, Trick-RC,Hobby Club and F3X.com . I aiso mentioned Model Aircraft News and Airage publications, the sponsor of this list.
All of these vendors owe some of thier success to this list and the others like it, because we read thier "ads" and learn and buy and gain greater enjoyment from our hobby. Everyone benefits, no one is harmed in any way. I have been on this list for years (4-5?) and you aren't the first to stick your foot in your mouth and then get slammed for being silly. I know and fly and talk with a significant percentage of members of this list, if you are into numbers, and we all like to hear about "the latest and the greatest", months before the magazines can get the news out (except the Radio Control Soaring Digest).
Sam continues:
I have as much right to say my thoughts as anyone on this listand I will do just that. The few that try to control the things they have no control over, well, good luck.
You have given us another shining example of useless and unwanted tilting at windmills, not that we needed it. Well me maybe. That's fine, no harm done, except to your reputation with a pretty cool group of individuals and specialty companies that do what they do for love more than money.If you do not like that, then use delete, so the minority have said.
Ahhh the beginning of wisdom. And would have saved us all some time.
