I think we are wandering a bit, but I think the comments from Charles and Mikirob warrant a response. I have also become an infrequent contributor, but for the most part, that is not due to an increase in negativity on the boards. Some of that sort of thing was always present, and I was able to ignore it or give as good as I got, which ever seemed appropriate. I too, miss the camaraderie of days gone by, and the opportunity to learn from the more knowledgeable folks on a daily basis. As for Coincident management, I can only go by my own personal experience, which has not been even close to being on a par with my dealings with others such as Dan Wright, Ralph Karsten, Steve McCormack, and others. I have had far less frustrations in dealing with customer service from large companies like Sony. I am not being negative, I am being transparent. It would seem others have had experiences that parallel my own. Look, I spent most of my life dealing with Harvard PhDs. My skin is not thin. I've probably had 6-8 interactions and or transactions with the Coincident proprietor, and i am still waiting for one that is satisfactory or neutral. What Bill said above is most certainly true, and I am well aware that I can try the patience of anyone at times. But, you know, that is part of the skill set for running a small business in a competitive field. Coincident gear is good, but its not that good.
