Hey all,
i am very much looking forward to the Quarks series from 4sevens and asking alot of questions in his threads until i got this email which made me think a bit.
From 4 sevens to me :
[text deleted - DM51]
Now i am glad that david formulated it that nicely and was polite. (He could be a politician
I can also understand some of the reasons he mentioned for his concerns.
Still I am a bit worried when a well respected member and now manufacturer of this board feels the urge to send an mail like this which basically sais he would rather like me not to ask questions which could hint to possible shortfalls of his lights because that could hurt his business.
I can understand that a manufacturer does not want the possible bad aspects of his upcomming lights to get spilled here (if there were any which i do not think) but isn`t that was CPF is about ?
I mean I come here partly because i want to know if a light is good or not BEFORE i buy it and not after.
So when 4 sevens sais "eveyone should get their own opinion" then that is true, but not by buying a light and after that discovering possible shortfalls ( if there should be any) !
That`s the reason i ask so many questions here and after all this forum is for asking questions and especially the 4 sevens subforum threads he started himself are for dicussing his design philosophys.Not just cheering.
So as the last word here: I do not intend in any way to hurt your business 4 sevens!
I am just trying to figure out if these lights are as fantastic as you present them so i can order them relaxed knowing i spend my money well.
One has to know the disadvantages of a light in order to see if they outweight the advantages.
And that is what i`m trying to find out.
