I think people are confusing hype with enthusiasm.
Is this really worth ranting about? If you're watching a movie trailer, do you get angry and call Warner Bros why the trailer doesn't show how the movie ends?
OMG! That was the same Douglas Adams??? This sounds silly but I forgot that.OMG! PAN! Hadn't thought about it in years! Anyone remember 'Total Music'? They had a forum on there. Use to 'talk' with Douglas Adams of 'Hitchiker's guide to the Galaxy' on PAN. Ahh, doze were da daze!
For which ever reason it is.... it really sucks that the basic atmosphere has gone from amazement/wonder to an area that seems hostile (of course passive-aggressive). What makes it more of a downer is all parties involved are, and check previous posts, good people. It's seems to be a chess match of counter-point arguing that no longer has a resolution that is meaningful in terms of reverting the "sour" effect that has incurred. It seems like there is a struggle between:
(A) The folks who bought it for the market item that it was and the product it can produce
and
(B) Folks that want a guarantee of the product's future potential for the purpose of making a wiser purchase in their benefit.
I don't know fellas... If Cliff scraps the whole idea.... I still got more than my money's worth and I got the intended product that I purchased. I just can't help but think, in comparison, the product support I've received in the past by other companies... (my experience) T.C Electronics, Digitect, DOD, Peavey, Mesa-Boogie-at times,..etc. In the times that I purchased their products, I've never received free pickups, truss rods, tubes, transistors, ... a friggin refund, ... or decent SUPPORT.
I guess alot of folks, myself included, have finally found a good thing here after years of wasted cash, time, money, ... blah blah blah... and once we finally have it... we protect it.
I guess in short, and please whoever may or may not take offense - its my opinion, buy it for what it currently does. If that's not enough then we'll tell you how badass it is in days/months/years when you make an alternate decision.

Please read my new thread concerning profiling (if you dare invest the time).
Thank you.
Really!!! I devoured his books when I was in college! The only books I ever read more than twice! I was dumbstruck when he died. The guy was utterly brilliant. I always felt the HHGTTG wasn't finished and hoped there would be a fifth book in his trilogy of four.OMG! That was the same Douglas Adams??? This sounds silly but I forgot that.
Very uncalled for IMO.Just a shame he was a devout atheist.
Guys. I also get the idea that some of the negativity is caused by the enormous numbers of people that feel the need to respond to the first negative.For which ever reason it is.... it really sucks that the basic atmosphere has gone from amazement/wonder to an area that seems hostile (of course passive-aggressive).
