believe me I’m sorry I said anything.
the thing you must remember is that its no skin off my nose what happens with a program I no longer promote.
I said something to save others my pitfalls, you have my solomn promise to never say anything about focal again, good or bad.
to say that they had no relevance towards the IC thread is rediculous IMHO, because if not IC, then who else with same software? its an easy jump IMHO.
as for stating 1 year of promotion, that is totally off-base. The stats you were able to see may have only gone back a year, I don’t know. but I’ve promoted them off and on, for a long time, closer to 4 maybe 5 years.
and as I stated earlier, that was the biggest reason I have been adamant about Focal, is because I HAVE given them more than ample opportunity.
Now add to that the fact that what I said is not just my opinion, it happens to be that of what I am pretty sure are many but I know at the very least one very seasoned vet that I know would be happy to say they feel the same. And I even have Dom’s own words that she too has been unhappy with them. What does it take?
regardless, what i have learned is if I see a problem with a program, to politely state as such, once, and then shut up about it.
Is that what you really want from this? Because its the message sent.
So what if I’ve been saying this for 3 years. When I start hearing some good things about them, I’ll not only shut up, but will gladly reconsider listing them again.
well I’ve said my piece, and please know I have no axe to grind with anybody.
I believe in live and let live. But to also stand up for those that might not be able to do so for themselves.
However, live and let learn, apparently, is the motto of this theme.
to me, the whole thing wasn’t worth the arguement if it had to reach this point because its quite obvious the only wheels I was trying to grease were those belonging to people to come after me.
I know my days at Focal are done. But consider that maybe the next person to come after me will just maybe get slightly better results since somebody was willing to step up and make an issue out of it instead of just politely saying something one time and then shutting up.
No matter what, its rediculous to say that I have anything to gain on the subject. I’ve been screwed over for much more money by other places, its just a joke to say that I have a personal vendetta against them.
In any case, I have learned my lesson. And will curtail my posts accordingly.
