I'm having trouble reconciling this earlier comment by you with the one that says you didn't buy the business.
bkenobi:
I have no stock in the RAM Controls business as their products are out of my ball park, but I'm confused as to why you are fulfilling orders that RAM Controls owe when you only bought "The only thing that is the same from David's time is the stock of the company and its intellectual property." If that's the case, and you're business ID is not the same as Dave's, then why would you fulfill any of the orders that Dave and RAM Controls (circa Dave) is responsible for? I understand good will buying credibility in the community, but, if that's the case, shouldn't you point that out from the beginning? :dunno

By your posts it would seem that you are not owed anything by Ram Controls other than some vague concept of 'respect'. My appearance on the forums to explain the situation and ask for people to contact me so that I might take care of those who are owed is showing a LOT more 'respect' then you seem to be exhibiting. Just so you and everyone else understands the name Ram Controls is just a brand name. I did not buy the business entity. I own the web domain ramcontrols.com but my business is a new entity and is not even called Ram Controls. The only thing that is the same from David's time is the stock of the company and its intellectual property.

So you want you cake and eat it too?
Well guess what Dan. You're going to have to deal with me calling it like it is. Like it or not.

There are so many people who are owed that there is no way that I could find them all without making my presence known and posting my contact methods. It is not my intent to promote new products or services on the forums at this time as I see taking care of those who are owed as my first priority. If a few people here and there want to try buying something small to test the waters so be it but my primary goal was to open communication and make sure everyone knew what I was doing and to have a way to contact me.

More BS. Can you explain then the EMAILS you've been sending people asking them to post that they've gotten their parts and that RAM is back?
I'm still waiting to hear about your thoughts on RAM taking orders and money for products that can never be produced.
Or the fact the site still has a lot of inaccurate information....
...or...or...or...
EDIT: Here is the email for reference:

Hi xxx,
As a recent customer of Ram controls I am sending you this email to ask for your help. As you may or may not know I took over the operation of Ram Controls on March 15th 2011 from David Adams, the company founder. Due to a number of personal issues he was not able to give Ram Controls the attention it deserved and in some cases customers had placed orders that were not delivered. The problems in question have been resolved and I am working dilligently to take care of these back orders and make sure all current clients receive good customer service.
I am putting together a list of recent customers who would be willing to assist in spreading the word that I am taking good care of people who are ordering from Ram Controls. This help can be in a number of ways. The first is way is for those of you who are members of KLOV or BYOAC to post on those forums that the orders you placed were processed in a timely manner and you received your product. The second is to allow me to refer potential customers to you who might want some verification that I am taking care of Ram Controls orders quickly. I will only refer potential customers to past clients who explicitly allow me to do this. If you say no or do not respond I will NOT add you to this list. Both of these are totally voluntary but there is an old saying that goes if you don’t ask the answer is always no, so I am asking.
If you cannot or do not want to help I totally understand, but for those who choose to help I very much appreciate the effort. I am working on several new parts and controllers and expect to make several product announcements soon. Thank you for your past business and I look forward to taking good care of you in the future.
Sincerely,
Dan Johnston
