watt:W8MM:so why believe you have any concern for your customers?
I love you, too
Yup, you said it all glibly.
I took your bait and now regret it. I'm sorry I ever responded. It hasn't done either of us any favors.
I never should have responded to your technical evaluation which my customers who have experience with both detectors would regard as an outlier. I should have just let it pass without comment. When I pointed it out, the discourse went downhill.
You may not regard your comments as insulting, just the "plain truth", but since I've poured my life and soul into pleasing detector customers, I found it personally offensive. It seems that I'm not cut out for this sort of web interaction.
Yes, it seems obviously simple to make a product by listening to customers. That's what we tried to do with Gen2. It took decades of listening to customers and engineering development to arrive at the current product. The supplied suction mount combined with the Gen2's slimmer housing helps keep the windshield obstruction to a minimum. Plenty of customers are delighted by that.
It doesn't have a gooey cup windshield mount option yet because our engineers have a basket full of other priorities made VERY worse by the international chip shortage.
It's amazing how busy trying to stay in business can be. I guess if I actually cared about my customers, I would have pre-purchased 2 years of critical parts inventory before they became scarce from our vendors (with no notice except non-delivery). Re-designing several iterations of circuit boards and re-writing the code to match available processors (of which there are very few) to maintain production is focused on customers whom let us know about long backorders. I also would have hired 3 or 4 times as many customer service reps as I needed because it was easy to forecast the staff shortage caused by COVID and I would have ended up just right.
Again, I'm sorry I don't meet your standards.
I actually like you and what you contribute here. So the repartee ( ) was partly in jest, but I see it was interpreted as FU2. Was your comment an FU to me?.
Let's don't do this anymore

Thanks Guys,
Since it's coming off anyway, we ditched the boot today
And got to drive properly to the hospital for pre-op today. Amputation is the fastest Way Back In hiking rather than risking 8 more weeks infection spread trying more massive antibiotics

We're off for amputation Friday: Bone infection needs to be cut away before I lose my Left lower leg - the good news is it's my clutch foot and the Pista has no clutch!!!
Oh my god, Watt...I feel so sorry about it.
I wish you a speedy recovery and I am amazed of how you seem to take things...not sure I would be able to do that.
Kudos to you and your mental status, you are truly an amazing person, Watt.

Thanks to all!
Much lighter on my remaining tootsies. Walked an hour through our 500 new trees with the Labs today!!!! Post Op 4 August and hope to be Way Back In on the tracks thereafter.
Ha Watt, glad to hear you are on your... ahm... feet again mate!
Sorry, couldn't help myself, I guess I have a dark sense of humor. All kidding aside, wishing you a speedy recovery mate, take care and get well soon! We can't go for much longer without any picture updates from way back in.
Cheers,

Glad to hear you're OK, Watt.
You are really the example of a positive attitude, maybe you could teach me how?

We can all benefit from Watt’s mental toughness and positive attitude. He’s a real inspiration.
Haha! Back on most of my feet again --- aerodynamic improvements
Enough to hike, which is all that matters!! Healing nicely but obeying my surgeon's request to leave off boots and hitting the jump off until next week's visit to the Wound Dept Monday and Post Op Thursday!!! So happy to leave this dangerous bone infection in the rubbish bin! My shoulder can carry propane tanks again!!! The titanium spine a work of art, technology and skill!
When the Lord bring challenges one after another, one speaks to God as Job:
"If I lift myself up, You hunt me like a lion, and show Yourself inflicting marvelous trials upon me." Job 10:16 Amplified Bible.
Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, slave and emperor -- read them over and over again, their perspectives priceless.
Thank God for the chance to bounce up and fight on - I'm still vertical! Thanks to all our RennTeam friends!! The Crewe sends their all encompassing love!

With the current rate of inflation, it’s almost an insult to call you the Six Million Dollar Man of RT. Glad to read that your recovery is nearly as quick as your Ram TRX. On a more literary topic, how different have you found the various translations of Aurelius?

Too far back to recall when, I found George Long the best translation of M. Aurelius. I have perhaps 12 copies from my $9800 fine M.A.
And the copy I carried for so many years I had it rebound on the '90's, George Long for M.A., and P.E. Matheson who is best for Epictetus who is just as valuable as M.A. I get little value from Lucretius or Epicurus. If you can find this volume, you get both authors plus excellent commentary.
I pored over this copy as you can see:
This volume also includes Matthew Arnold's Essay on M.A. quite wonderful as well.

Love it. In todays crazy almost nonsensical “Wahnsinn”, this is refreshing.
