I WON MY BET with myself! In fact, I could have taken out a different bet with longer odds and won that, too!
You can't win on the facts of the situation and logical observation - so you have to attack me personally! Keep going - you haven't insulted me enough to be worried. I am actually holding it in quite well to stop breaking out in laughter.
But seeing you want to push a button, I'll not disappoint you (this time)..........
NOTHING I have stated is outside the realm of fair and reasonable observation. I have even invited Dave to shoot me down if I've stepped outside any bounds - but he has offered nothing. There also seems to be an absolute dearth of other members chiming in decrying my comment.
My interest in this meter is real. My only constraint in not having purchased one is budgetary. As part of this interest, I have been following all the threads.
The fact that you have not offered ONE SINGLE CHALLENGE against my arguments demonstrates you cannot and so you resort to attempt to discredit me to maintain your "superiority". Sorry - but that is a clear marker of someone who lacks objectivity and (IMHO) has self-esteem issues.
SO - the question begs .... When I do get my hands on a 121GW - what will be your basis for dismissing my opinion? The fact I won't had one for as long as you have?
It is clear you have never sent a product out into the wild. I have - and so have quite a few others here. My last such shipment was two units sent to Israel for testing and evaluation. Even after weeks of my own testing and tweaking, once you send the package on its way, you wonder if you've addressed all the requirements to the customer's satisfaction. All the communications indicate you have - but until they get the product in their hands and use it, you are always apprehensive. You also still keep thinking about what can go wrong - of both the things you have thought about and of those you hadn't. The only practical approach is to get it as right as you can and send it out - then prepare yourself for issues and to address them should they arise. If you don't do this, then you will never get a product out into the market.
But you don't need to pay any attention to my little example - there are many members here that do much more of this sort of thing than I and they have stories about their experiences which show life isn't perfect.
One parting comment: I would like to point out that ownership is not a pre-requisite for having a valid opinion nor is it the only metric for having an investment in a product. In fact, I could have purchased one and had it sitting on my desk, still unopened and posted the same comments. So much for your eligibility criteria.
Please - do yourself a favour and let this go. You aren't "winning" here in any sense of the word and you are just embarrassing yourself - more and more.
Edit: I know the "let this go" recommendation will fall upon deaf ears - but it still needs to be said ... again.
