You know, if you took the trouble to look at history, rather than jumping to conclusions and YELLING, you'd see that I've been a long-term supporter - I was gunslinger #58 and an early buyer of my 950.

sshhh

I understand the frustration and I have been on the boards a long time too but I just cannot fathom what possible benefit anyone sees from the doom and gloom / negativity. If you don't like the direction of the firm / pace of their product rollout why keep visiting?

I was kind of enjoying the lack of posting. If there's no news from Outlaw, why post anything until there is?

Ah...good ol' censorship...China style. Fitting, but I'll pass.

Best,

Quite the opposite of censorship the posting of one's password as a final act of frustration is the ultimate way of saying "I have given up on this board". It is far more like the courageous young man standing before the tanks of Tienanmen Square than anything the CPC would do. It is the ultimately defiance. It is liberating. Once you've "open sourced" your account you will be free of the burden of coming here and seeing things that cause you misery. Come on, try it!

Dictatorships always market the removal of freedom of speech and collection of private arms (the ability to express your opinion in this case) as "liberating." Is that what you're after?

The guy in front of the tank didn't fare so well. A number of sources say that he was executed by firing squad not long after he "displayed his password."

Look, Outlaw has repeatedly dropped the ball. Their explanations don't make sense. Their product focus doesn't appear to make sense (with respect to the 978). Instead of venting on those who would point that out, perhaps you might drop a dime and call Outlaw instead. They're not a public company so they're only accountable to themselves. However, based on their history of "we love the customer" rhetoric, you'd think they'd be a bit more giving in terms of status reports on what is one of their core products.

Best,

The offer still stands. [img:center]http://arabatik.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/seppuku.jpg?w=500[/img]

Perhaps you might consider leading by example.

*yawn*

Would someone wake me when it's over?

Been some time since i stopped in.

I have waited and waited and waited but am out of time.

I am replacing my 990 with an Onkyo 5508. I am moving and want an up to date HT at my new house - so sorry Outlaws I tried to be faithful but had to move on - you left me no choice.
