I'm over it.   ;D

I always wonder why whenever anyone posts a comment about Randy's obnoxious manner of corresponding with people on these boards, they feel compelled to qualify their criticism with gushing statements about how awesome GGG is. Guys, there are alternatives to everything. Between Ultimarc, Apache, and good old-fashioned DIY homebrew ingenuity, you can have everything you ever wanted in your cab without patronizing a business whose owner deals with customers in a way you may not like. I personally do not like how Randy talks to people on these boards. So, I don't buy his stuff. Plain and simple. And I lack nothing - not controls, not lighting, not interfaces, NOTHING. And although it matters not to me, if high-res spinners is your thing, Ultimarc's got you covered there too.

Eric.

 



shmokes:
Because this is a community and a discussion forum.  I'm not qualifying my statement, I'm giving him advice.  And I'm trying to impress on him that my bad opinion has nothing to do with the quality of his products (I've never actually used a single one).  It seems crazy to invent all these great products and then have people refuse to buy them, not because they suck, but because the inventor sucks as public relations.  But that is happening.  But, whatever . . . I'm over it.   ;D

Eric, 

You are not, nor will you obviously ever be a customer of GGG.  So, once again, you feel you are qualified to comment on something that you have not experienced.  My customers are treated quite well, thank you,  and often are given the opportunity to purchase items that are made specifically for them in order to get them out of a tight spot.  In the many years I have been a contributing member here, I have seen numerous occasions where other vendors, and reviewers, have steered folks in bad directions, either through ignorance or quite possibly something worse.  And I have done my best to help folks, regardless of where their purchases were made.

Again, I am a long standing member here, not just a "vendor".   As such, I will offer an opinion on you, Eric, as you see fit to comment on me.  There are a lot of other much more informed voices on this board than yours.  You are often incorrect with your observations, and become vindictive when your errors are pointed out as such.  I personally do not like how your comments mislead folks into a situation that might possibly disappoint or cause harm to their wallets.  So I put little stock in what you have to say, and recommend that others do the same.  There are folks here with much more useful input like Robin (uRebel), Derrick Rennaud, Kremmit, or any number of other folks who have proven themselves to have the technical ability and desire to actually understand how these things work and why.  This forum is about arcade controls, and your bashing here just ruins it for everyone.

And shmokes, please do get over it  :).  I don't intend to be a phony in order to make sales.  I prefer that my customers see and moreover understand the value of what GGG offers and are not "slicked" into buying something that won't do what they expect it to.

RandyT




*edit*  Had to put a smiley in there for shmokes.  We see eye to eye on too many things and I don't want him to think that I dislike him. But he's still a pain in my kiester :)

Hey, it's autumn, the leaves are falling.

Visitor Q:
All I know is this is all a big investment for me. I am just trying to gather as much info. as I can on all this. It is a lot to take in and a lot to consider. I for one am sorry that I may ask questions here that have already been covered time and time again but yes, I am a newbie. Trust me when I say I have used the search function of this site and have spent countless hours reading through posts but sometimes I am just looking for a fresh opinion. I do appreciate everyone who has replied to my posts, both vendors and members. I have even had the opportunity to speak to some of the members here personally one the phone and they have been nothing but helpful. Hell I spoke to DeLuSioNal29 for close to 3 hours on the phone the other night!!!

I plan on giving back here as much as I can as soon as I learn the ropes.

I little off topic here but I just wanted to say it.
