[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='489746' date='May 16 2009, 12:48 PM']Oh wait let me see, is the real reason you're having a go me THIS time Beefy, because you think I've been seduced by the big names? Hmm and let me guess, the next question you're probably thinking of asking is what I got in exchange for what you may consider to be free advertising?
Assuming that its any of your business (not that it is) I didn't get anything out of it and I paid for my own airfare over there.[/quote]
Have you been drinking cough medicine again CK?
Why would I object to you talking positively about a luthier? Just because you're a mod, you can still have an opinion and still talk about an experience, free advertising or not. I think it's safe to say you haven't been "seduced my the big time" quite yet (unless you were there to discuss the CrazyKiwi Signature model?).
You've somehow come to this conclusion, and for some reason people have taken it as fact. My issue with your ammended post is far more superficial.
I quoted your original post, wrote a longish reply, and then before I hit "add reply" your post had been heavily edited. As there is no "this post has been edited tag", to the uninitiated it looks like I'm either miss quoting you, or quoting a different thread. It also seems a bit inconsistent.
When I write something that makes me look like a twat, I either have to suffer it or make a climb down by editing my post for the world to see. The mods can retrospectively change their posts without anyone knowing. That's why its important dood.
It's not the first time you've done this, so do as you wish. All I can do is ask for the mods to play by the same rules as us as often as possible, which I did in my post. Your assumption was interesting though.
For the record, apart from that minor point, I thought it was an interesting post. Personally I wasn't aware that there had been some customer service issue in the past. Never been a fan of Jazz updates really though.
