Message	I am out of line? Ash is here presenting his new product and the feedback he gets is....they are too expensive... and then being directly compared to a mass produced more expensive product. C'mon..... And what do I do? I try to read as much as I can and keep my mouth shut until I see something that pisses me off or when I have something positive to add to the conversation. I don’t sit here and bash everybody like so many TT.net members. Give Ash a break, I think for as much time he has put into this as far as research and production time $900 is an extremely fair price. ----------------------------------- A man once asked me if I took certain things seriously. I guess I made it seem like I didn't, but I do. Now people tell me I take things too seriously, but they don't understand. They don't care either. I don't feel they respect or understand what I'm trying to achieve. Perhaps it is their own sense of failure that is trying to sustain and validate itself.
