I apologize. I get frustrated sometimes when things are, in my opinion, misconstrued. I should not be continuing this drama, and it is my fault for turning this thread into it. I just want others to know that there are other products out there.
Look at engine builders-they use parts from many manufacturers, not just 1-because no 1 company makes the best at everything.
If my "bump" you mean "I really like their company and understand why they came up with their products and believe it them. So I'm going to let others know about this cool company, because it is my opinion(keyword here) that these products are very good, and affordable." I don't want people sacrificing performance just to support a vendor.
Would you stop someone from speaking their mind? I don't think I even stated that "X" is better than "Y" and that is a fact, I did state that it was my opinion. I know you need money to support this board, and with the economy the way it is, you want to protect your livelihood. Where do we draw the line between allowing free speech and opinion (within certain parameters) and simply silencing the competition so that those who come here for genuine input are only given a few select options? What can and cannot we say about other companies? What if I start paying you and become a "vendor", could I talk about SC&C and not worry about being accused of having ulterior motives?
In psychology you learn that those who accuse others of something when there is nothing really happening are often the ones who are guilty of something themselves. Often it rings "too close to home" and their defense mechanisms appear in an attempt to distract any real progress from being made. Not saying this about you SGRIM, but rather others that sometimes appear hostile.
Scott- I'm not going to address your post. It is going to lead to nowhere. I am in no way affiliated with SC&C. I would doubt if they even remember me. I don't get any free parts. I don't get any discounts. I pay full cost, and I enjoy my products. I'm simply a young man who is very enthusiastic about a company that helped me. They saved me money, didn't try to sell me everything under the sun, and explained exactly why (not just the "pamphlet" explanations, but actually the geometry and physics issues) this product would work, and even suggested other products that might get the job done for cheaper. I respect that, and I will try to support them whenever I get the chance.
Just to clarify I'm not Mark, here is a picture of me, so you can see the difference between what Mark looks like, and what I do...quite a difference there.. So you don't need to keep accusing me of secretly being Mark. Theres plenty of people on this board who will reaffirm that I'm just a young kid that is truly appreciative of the help he receives.
