Now, for the "SolCon". Good – I'm glad it isn't similar. Unfortunately, your
representative (Mark Randall) wasn't clear on this, because HE said it was
similar, and that was why you would not be interested in supporting our
product. He said, and I quote "So we'll be supporting our own version, of
course". If he was mistaken, and this is not similar, then I imagine there is
some other reason he is not privy to that caused the reversal in his (and
presumably the company's) attitude. Now, I'll grant you that a spokesmans
opinions do not (always) a company's policy make, but he seems to see things
differently than your stated position(s) in this note, and he certainly changed
his tune over the two weeks that NewTek was in posession of our data sheet.
Notice there is NO implication there, only facts. Feel free to explain all you
want, I'm sure I'm very interested.
I can see that you would be upset that there were some very negative opinions
voiced here; but you jumped too quickly yourself as far as finger pointing
goes.
Right now, we're very busy with the FCC approval of our hardware so that this
new product, like our previous hardware product, will be legal and above board.
It's really time consuming, and I don't particularly want to waste time
fighting/arguing with you or your company. Best to leave it be, I think – And
I'm sure that all here would be fascinated to hear about the SolCon, us
included.
