If only I had saved all my replies to prove that your assertions are
incorrect.

I provided information provided to me by the manufacturers. Sorry, we
don't have an independent testing lab. Others had already Googled
specifications which, by the way, are made known by the manufacturers.
I also related my opinion based on the testamonials of hundreds of
customers and our own rental department. I never said I couldn't find
the information nor that I was too busy. Whenever I did provide any
information it was poo-pooed as being "sales hype" and you made it
known that the experience of my customers and me doesn't matter.

Before I was a "salesman" (I actually do a lot of other things) I was a
producer, editor and actually have a degree from UT-Austin in
Radio-TV-Film. That's a school where you actually take production
classes. Then I actually did production for a living. Then I started
supplying other people who produce.

I guess I really don't care what you think but I do have a problem with
your misrepresenting my intentions, words and actions to others. I
have no preference in recommending one tape over another as far as
what's in my best interest. It's in my best interest to be honest
because that's the right thing to do and in the grand scheme of things,
that's all I'm comfortable doing. I recommend what I think is best
(which in this case is nothing since I have made no recommendations)
based on what I think will do the best job for the person inquiring.
