Actually, they are, but the rest went right over my head. Could you elaborate on your statement a little? (sorry, a bit slow today :) )
Thanks,

Randy,
My points are valid, even if you don't care to agree. My point was that this "system" is nothing more than a felt pad. That plus a flat-tipped set pin still doesn't constitute an "on the fly arcade spinner resistance adjustment technology." That's marketing speak if I ever heard it, and not entirely accurate in my opinion ("on the fly?" By using a torx wrench to adjust it?)
Let's see, I give the knob a positive review, yet you start sniping at the one minor negative (not even listed in the "Cons"), even when the review says it's an effective method of adjusting resistance.
You've got a pretty big chip on your shoulder, dude...

I take it that you mean positive by virtue of it not being overtly negative. But there was a caveat every time you mentioned something even remotely positive. You call it "simple" and "overblown", yet there was nothing simple about selecting, or designing the parts that allow it to work. It's also never been done before. Simple things are easily implemented and dead obvious. This was neither as the problem has existed for a long time without any type of solution. Until now.

My response to this is that I choose not to respond to these types of comments. What I wrote was in defense of statements in your review, not about you. Please feel free to defend your statements using logic and your knowledge of engineering principle, as I have attempted to do above. Personal insults don't help to effectively convey your points.

Hey Randy, you didn't reinvent the wheel, you made a speed control for a spinner with felt and a screw. Was it amazing? Sure. Is it worth fighting to the death for over terms? I don't know. From an average persons stance, I see nothing wrong with what Kevin is saying. I would explain it the exact same way he did. You have a great product and you add a lot of fluff to your advertising, so what? Let him say his part and leave him alone. Geez man.
