As one of the small number of individuals, I'll chime in...



I thought that before I apologized for any rudeness on the part of the saloon, I'd see what posts of yours we had overlooked. Inevitably, some posts do not get replied to -- happens to everybody. Sometimes there is a larger debate in progress that overshadows it. Sometimes no one knows a good answer, and chooses to simply not reply rather than wasting bandwidth by saying "I don't know." I found only three posts by your user name -- this post, a long post here from June (which was only partially answered in a good post by Jed M and may have otherwise been overlooked as the debate in that thread looks to have been fairly active and fast-paced at the time) and a post from September in this thread that didn't really ask for a reply but got two anyway (Matthew Hill and I both responded to that one). I am sorry that you feel that your posts did not get any replies, but I don't think it's an entirely valid complaint.

Having gotten that out of my system, I will also say that your post is an interesting and very well-stated description of the experiences of a number of 950 owners. (Not all of course, as no two people will ever have exactly the same experience -- too many variables.) There are a number of users who have not experienced the hiss problem at all (I can say that with certainty because I'm one of them, and because if there weren't others like me then this forum would have been overwhelmed by complaints by now). There are also some users such as yourself who have validly encountered a hiss problem. Outlaw has worked hard on the issue already, and I doubt that they are ignoring it now after coming so far already.
