... Some may agree, and some may disagree with DGT's stated reasons for closing their forum. Personally, I'm surprised that DGT actually had a controversial forum of this nature up and running for as long as they had. Managing a forum of this nature struck me as an incredibly risky venture, a task that in the end becomes nearly impossible to control insofar as trying to maintain good PR is concerned. If I had been the CEO I wouldn't have authorized a forum of this nature, even though I know full well that it would have disappointed many, including myself. ...especially myself. I ask myself: Would Apple have allowed a controversial forum of this nature, a form that would have allowed Joe Public and all of his in-laws to argue incessantly over the so called merits (or the lack) of developing an iPhone & iPad, particularly while the project was still under development? Granted, maybe Rossi & DGT will turn out to be a scam operation, just as all the skeptics have been harping all along. I sincerely doubt it, but I must admit the fact that it is still a remote possibility. The way I see it, the fact that DGT decided to close their forum is no grounds, in my book, for suddenly feeling overly concerned. If anything, it suggests to me that DGT realizes they need to focus all their energies on the tasks-at-hand. It seems like every time there is another bump in the road certain skeptics point to the event as further proof that it's proof of scam operation. It can also cause certain believers fret and worry - endlessly. Why should DGT feel obligated to piss on the latest bonfire created by another rabid skeptic, or for that matter continue to assure hand wringing believers? Well... they don't! Chill out!

Good business PR on their part. A mark of professionalism. My two cents. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
