Not only the points about the community that you made, but also:
4) Trisquel is the upstream for PureOS, so maybe making drive-by comments in the community forum and saying you probably won't bother to check the responses is not a great way to treat the community around your distribution's upstream.
5) From a pure marketing standpoint, most of the people interested in a Purism laptop are at the very least intellectually aligned with members of this forum, are probably lurkers, and quite possibly members. You might actually benefit from visiting the forum more often to build up some gravitas. Chris is here almost everyday, often answering peoples' questions about hardware even though on a certain level I'm sure it conflicts with his business interests to do so. That sir, is how you gain trust in a community like this.
