Sorry, but I told you!

Posted By Floyd Blue
You know, I have not made any demands before, but I have asked for everyone not to use the names or initials and sure enough two people went right ahead and did it despite my post saying that any posts containing them will be deleted!
Now, I am trying to handle a situation and I asked for your help.
This is not a request, but a rule I will enforce until I am told otherwise. Any and all posts will be deleted that use the names or initials. No matter who makes them! Am I being clear here?
This is not personal, it is a decision that I had to make, but to those who's posts were deleted, sorry! smile
Now, if you wish to discuss the issue or products, use a replacement name or initial and feel free to state your feelings.

OK, so the mystery is solved, let us move on.

Posted By Floyd Blue
Ok, we have heard the story now and it is time to move on to other topics. We can all read into this what ever we wish and we can speculate as to the out come, but it is a done deal and it will be what it will be.
Let's just not use the registered trade marks until the smoke settles and just go on with our lives.
I for one am interested in knowing if the 6mm is the new style that was coming but never surfaced. If it is then I will just buy it from Markus with the other name on it. TS, BS it is all the same to me. wink
I for one do not like the position that this all put me in as moderator. I do not wish to seem a tyrant, but I do have a responsibility. Please understand that I am doing what I feel is best for the forum.
If you feel that I am in error, I am open to suggestions. smile

Don't shoot the messenger!

Man, I am catching H&!! over this from some. I do not think it is very fair that I should be given a hard time over this crap. But, it seems that some feel I am selling out or some other asinine thing. :S
Herb stated that he was told to stop discussing these names and trade marks, I am trying to just keep myself clear of this whole mess and would like to just put it to bed. But until we find out what the heck is exactly going on, I will keep doing what I feel is the right thing. If you all feel that I am not doing well at this, please feel free to take my place and moderate the forum as you see fit.
I am just about to let the thing just run away and take it's own course, but that is not what I am suppose to do is it?

If the encoder bracket puts the encoder in a bind, you could get errors, but the numbers should still change. It sounds like a hardware problem, encoder or wiring perhaps. Can you swap the encoders? This would eliminate the encoder.

A question for Markus

Posted By Floyd Blue
Markus,
This is all getting rather deep. I think a simple question should be asked here.
Has Thomas contacted you concerning the purchase and sale of these EPs? Since he is the designer, not Bill, I would think that he would talk to you about it if this were some kind of violation of contract and you guys are still on good terms.

I would like to either get to the bottom of this controversy or drop it. I feel this is taking up too much time having to monitor every post for content and answering to every one about my involvement with the issue. I have no involvement, I am a moderator.
I too would like to know who owns or controls the rights to these EPs if it is known. If this is on the up and up, well then let Markus and TS sell their EPs and be done with it.
If it is not, then decide whether you want to purchase them or not, it is your decision not mine or any one else's. :S
This is not a court of law and we don't even have any facts before us, but we are acting like a judge and jury. This bothers me a bit. sad
