We see this the same way, my major difficulty is when dealers hop in on threads to try to sell things, and then use the carnival pitch, "Winner every time!". I'd like to see threads approached from the standpoint of, just state what you know as fact, and/or have personally experienced. I wouldn't directly comment on the LVR series because, I don't have one, and haven't used one for an extended period of time. I have dumped frames to a disk on a project before, but I don't really consider that enough experience to try to influence someone looking at the deck. Now in an open arena, dealers could shout and yell and pitch products all day long. I wouldn't care. I'd just tune the forum out. Then if some one like yourself wanted to purchase something, they could hop onto that forum and let all of the dealers go crazy, trying to undercut each others prices and sell you on their particular pieces of equipment. Kinda like tossing a piece of meat into a pack of dogs. However, in an atmosphere that is seemingly set up for tech support/troubleshooting/ and tips/techniques, we really don't need to be constantly bombarded with pitches and sales rhetoric. I get complaints from people all the time regarding this, and I just thought that instead of losing forum members and watching this turn into a sales arena, I'd speak up and see if something couldn't be done. Clear/concise/accurate reviews should be just that, not "well John said that Ted had seen Karen, dumping some frames to a deck and it worked flawlessly!, and by the way I can get you the deck for the low,low price of 19.95" P.S. – Keep in mind, that this particular sales problem has only arisen over the last year, and has only really gotten out of hand during the last 4 or 5 months. Lets see if we can't either get a dealer area going or limit all sales pitches to the want adds or something.
