What the heck are you talking about? That's a complete and outright lie. You are confusing me with someone else. I have never worked in an audio store in my life. I have worked in the printing and graphics industry for the past 15 years.

LMAO. I have never worked for Virtual Dynamics. Matt Carter e-mailed me privately OUTSIDE OF HEAD-FI and told me that he would give me 10% commission on any orders that resulted from customers I sent their way. The one and ONLY customer I brought him was my neighbor (who is not a member of Head-Fi), and Rick managed to piss him off and screw up his order so bad that he will never order anything from them ever again, which is unfortunate for people like Matt and Brad who actually do try hard to keep the customer happy.
Don't accuse anyone of anything until you get your facts straight. Assumption is the mother of all f-ups.
I'm a straight shooter and play by the rules. I don't kiss ass or take bribes, never have and never will. I won a VD contest fair and square (you are welcome to visit the thread and see my design that won the contest). And obviously I don't have to answer to you or anybody else.

How do you figure that? You've never earned commission on a referral before? Your friend has never given you tickets to a ball game for referring a customer his way? Give me a break, man.  If I didn't think their products sounded good, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Some of you people belong in the mob.
Earning a commission (as an incentive to inform people about products which happen to be very good and which I believe EVERYONE would benefit from) doesn't mean you are employed by a company or are on their payroll. And FYI, him offering me commission was extremely recent, no more than 6 weeks ago. But since they upset the one and only customer I brought them, I really have no desire to see anyone else get put through the same fiasco.

Best thread ever. Just when I think I'm out they pull me back in.

No more than 6 weeks ago?
Wasn't Matt Carter (Acoustic Chef) banned before that? Yes he was. He was banned on Feb 9th. You dealt with him after the ban?

That's what I was trying to do by giving you a friendly warning, since you didn't seem to be aware of how you were acting. But if you'd rather just make an ass of yourself in front of everyone and snap at anyone who tries to caution you otherwise, then be my guest.

Don't you think that your credibility takes a hit by not disclosing this info earlier?

I didn't know it was against the rules to deal with an employee of a company outside of Head-Fi. I didn't know that a ban was universally acknowledged. Believe me, I probably cautioned him of his behavior on Head-Fi more than anyone else here. I am pretty sure he regrets it, but I cannot speak for him.
Matt was the first person I dealt with at Virtual Dynamics, and he has extended certain courtesies to me regarding payment of a product that other MOTs have also extended me. He has always been kind to me and we have conversed often through e-mail.
Let me again clarify: I was not receiving monetary compensation for my referrals, only credit towards purchases. I consider that to be "commission" but perhaps you don't. It seems many people here are interested in all the semantics of my business. And for the life of me I can't seem to understand what the big deal is. But I know some of you are dying to know: I received a whole $95 in product credit. Whoopee!
I don't know why some of you feel the need to attack me but I have never once lied or withheld any information from anyone here. If I was trying to keep some private deal secret, I would never have mentioned it in post(s) in the first place. I have never written biased reviews of their products or been compensated for a review. If anything, I have been more critical of their company policies in public than most people would ever think about posting. I'm the last person that deserves accusations.
No matter what forum you go to, someone is always the victim of a witch hunt.

Please see my last post.
Obviously as pointed out by another member, I had previously mentioned it on Head-Fi. Do you feel it necessary for me to post that in every single thread about Virtual Dynamics cables? If not, what would be the proper thread to mention that in? Was the thread I mentioned it in not a proper place to do so? Or should I start a thread specifically to outline the details of my dealings with Virtual Dynamics? (I'm not being sarcastic here, just trying to give an honest reply and asking for the proper answer.)

Sorry, but it didn't seem friendly. I apologize for snapping at you if that's all you intended.

Other MOT's? The plot thickens.
