Please don't make the mistake of looking at my post count and thinking that's how long I've been around. I'm not an old timer by any means, but I built my first cab in 2003, and frequented these forums for some time before that. I just haven't felt the need to post until I needed to PM someone recently, and once I registered I stopped lurking. I don't mean to derail this topic further, I'll shut my mouth now, just take my opinion as you wish.

I will say one last thing since it's somewhat related though: I've been buying Ultimarc products for years, and Andy's attitude and helpfulness are no small part of me being a return customer. It's a small community, that kind of thing goes a long way for me.

You've got a funny way of pitching people to become one.

I just waded through the thread you linked. It did nothing but cement my opinion that

a) vendors should stay out of each other's threads (or "official" reviews) - that goes just as well for Andy as anyone else

b) you in particular should heed (a), because your personality/ego doesn't come off as particularly nice when you feel threatened or competitive

I respect that time and effort that vendors put into this hobby. It's a little hard to be overly high and mighty about intellectual property when your business model relies on thousands of people blatantly pirating mass amounts of IP though. I <3 MAME, but let's not pretend that how most people use it (myself included) is at the very least an awfully grey area if not flat out illegal and stealing. Make your $$$, but don't be an ass about it.
