PhreeZone 20 #7 April 19, 2011 His post only had the subject changed since it was in another thread and to break a thread out on its own I changed the subject. Why do you insist in trying to blame me for editing and deleting things that I don't do?

rhys 0 #8 April 19, 2011 I just wondered what it said, who is being paranoid now... I never blamed anyone in particular for deleting... I just pointed out that there is deleting going on, others have mentioned it to me also and othere have commented about it. No gripes with you... I just find it bizzare that someone asks me about PIA members when I have no clue who they are and have no idea why anyone would think I do... The only PIA I know about is the NZPIA and anti competiative behaviour is what that company is all about... Just say'n Thanks for the clarification on the edit though."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #14 April 20, 2011 All these warnings notwithstanding, the fact that the chairman of the PIA leads a committee that bans his competitors product? Only to find out later there was basically no investigation first? It stinks. It smells bad from a great distance away. Deleting threads where guys are asking questions just makes it look even worse. Conflict of interest? Maybe. Appearance of conflict? No question! The only way to make a conspiracy grow? Become part of the conspiracy by trying to hide it. (or at least presenting the appearance of, which trust me - you are) Of course I don't think you're trying to hide it, but from a distance, it sure does look odd and I really don't blame the man for wondering WTF people are doing. Seriously? Deleting threads just makes you all part of the problem. Everyone aught to shine some sunlight and make this problem go away. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

The PIA president chairs only the PIA Executive Committee. The Technical Committee is chaired by Dave Singer (Sunpath), and the Rigging Committee is chaired by Terry Urban (an independent rigger and DPRE). None of those individuals has banned his competitors products, and the PIA has not banned any products. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #22 April 20, 2011 My take: -There was a problem with the cutter that caused more than one incident. -Action was taken - ONE of those incidents was shown to be caused by something other than the cutter. -not advisable to "retract" the action taken based on the results of just that ONE incident. Now, just why the action was taken has become a political football. I think this very well may be a situation where it's better to be safe than sorry...expense be damned. When the results of all the other incidents are in, then a review of the action taken is truly warranted. It may turn out that the action was a correct one or, OTOH, it may turn out that the action was an unwarranted knee-jerk. Either way, we won't know until ALL the results are in. I'm in the "better safe than sorry" camp. Even if I was an Argus owner, I would still be in that camp...and happy that the problem was being addressed. I'm disappointed in Argus's diatribe response.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
