Hi Guys.
I'm the person who the OP quoted.
Peace!
Hey there Loop!
I'm sorry if you felt you had to come here to defend your name. It wasn't necessary in my view. No egg on you. I didn't think you were a shill and I honestly don't think most did either, but I can't speak for everyone.
As you said, you didn't post that link here. My complaints, as most peoples were, were not with you or, importantly, what you said in a vacuum. Context matters.
Context is both the reason I don't think you are a shill and the reason I was annoyed by a link to what you said presented here as useful info on kemper "taking over".
I took a colorful but friendly shot at Biggness and Harmony Central. I stand by those. "Taking over" is the kind of troll food I don't miss from when I went to HC; An ad revenue driven place where that kind of stuff is expected and probably necessary to drive click-thrus on ads. Context. "taking over' was also the latest in a too long list of increasingly useless threads.
Yes, I absolutely take you at your word that the ?? studios did what you claim, but its still half the info.
I work in Sales.
My customers are not impressed with the mystery cool people dig it claim and I don't expect them to be.
Your reputation wasn't what I was taking a shot at when I said that 19 pages or whatever ago.
I came out and said I have no idea who that is, which is another reason why blind cross-posting is lame. Context.
While we are splitting verbal atoms, I don't see how it can be good to be here if you think the fans are all crazy people. Little dab of having it both ways. : ) I feel the same way about Slayer fans though.
Its cool that you have access to those folks! Ask Andy Sneap what we can do to fight the over-compression of everything metal. Its wounded some of the great stuff he's worked on, the departed Nevermore comes to mind. Definite upside to working at Sweetwater, of whom I am a customer I might add, I do appreciate the service difference! Its real.
That said, there is obviously a gentleman's disclosure when comparing a product you sell to one you don't - unless you aren't in a Sales role. As I am and I have to disclose that in certain settings. I work in software. I don't doubt your review will be truthful and unbias; our personal reputations are more important than who we work for this year. I would be offended if someone assumed I was full of piss just to make a few dollars.
That said, I think this is bar none, the most useful product specific forum I've been too. I don't own s ton of gear nor visit every forum, but here beats the forums for other gear I've owned. Given the depth of the AF, that's a good thing!
Glad you are happy wherever you virtually go and I wish you well at SW. Enjoy the toys and meeting some of the elite!
-P
