[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 122181, member: 126"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A The old rule of only answering specific questions generally keeps the hype down to a rumble, but some of Uli's verbose essays were classic marketing. I am also made uncomfortable by manufacturers doing overt market research using public forums. While the irony is that the value of such research is similar to the value of general advice on the WWW (high noise to low signal ratio). I applaud Bennet's light hand at moderation (mostly). I was constantly getting smacked down at PSW for my sharing. That whole IP thread may have been entertaining to watch (kind of like a car crash), but it was pretty unpleasant to participate in. I am curious to see where this goes... The recent thread giving Yamaha a similar pedestal to pimp from will reveal if this approach has legs or is critically flawed. Manufacturers and customers can both benefit from a healthy dialog, even though most people ask the wrong questions. :-) I would like to see more than one company active here.
