Mark,

It's rapidly becoming clear that the people from IJV and Futures have 
every intention of pushing it that way to shut down any discussion about 
the products they don't like. If you allow the fact that some 
individuals choose to immediately shut down a thread, then anytime 
someone wnats to shut a thread down they will simply push those buttons.

Neither Ernst, nor I, nor many otheers on this list make a single dime 
from the sales of any inkjet products, other than perhaps final prints.

The VERY argument you are making was made by those on the Old Leben list 
who wanted (for whatever reasons)  to shut down discussion of the orange 
shift.    Fortunately, even after Mitch Leben banned several of those 
involved in researching that issue, the issue was carried forward. We 
have more advances because that episode was public than we would have 
had without it.. These discussions, where real dialogue and critique are 
met and where such is encouraged, are quite often  more useful than  
Shutterbug or "other website" style reviews where not a single product 
is called a "dog." Note, I am NOT int the least calling the Nanos a dog 
of a product, I think they may well represent a major advance. However, 
that does not mean that they are perfect for all users, or in all 
respects.  Informed consumers deserve the chance to hear the data, and 
when people purposely poison the debate with personal attack, IMHO the 
specific offender should be moderated instead of the thread being shut down.
