You're in the audio business. Where's your Member of the Trade designation? You're probably just trying to sell us remasters of 78s, right? We can never trust your opinions about vintage music again...

Yes, other MOTs have also offered me PAYMENT INSTALLMENTS on product. You have a problem with that? Is that against T&C? Can a MOT not extend me credit?

Would you like to see my birth certificate? Bank statements? Proof of circumcision?
Yes I do have a problem with that, and your attitude:

A Member of the Trade may not post announcements, advertisements, sales information or the like about a product he makes or sells in the Main Forums, via Private Messaging, or via Head-Fi's e-mail relay function.

No advertising by Members of the Trade that is not pre-approved by the Head-Fi administrators is allowed in the member forums. Some sponsors have Branded Sponsor Forums in which they will be allowed to advertise their wares. There will also be designated areas and forums where sponsors and non-sponsors alike will be able to advertise their wares. Head-Fi is most definately NOT anti-trade. In fact, trade members are a welcome and vital part of the Head-Fi community. However, Head-Fi's Main Forums, its Private Messaging System, or its e-mail relay function are not to be used for unsolicited self promotion and advertising of audio products or services.
You are clearly enabling an infraction of a series of rules that make sure that one MOT doesn't have a clear advantage over another.

I also wonder why you edited your original post of which I have a copy of.

Immature, indeed!

I will, however, take proof of your circumcision, as long as it's in certificate form and not the actual component.
A circumcision is a true definition of a 10% discount!

-- Was not via the forums, was to NON HEAD-FI MEMBERS
-- Was not through Private Messaging
-- Was not through Head-Fi's e-mail relay function, nor was his e-mail ever acquired in that fashion

Like I said, I was unaware of those rules. Now that I am aware of them, I will be sure to uphold them. But I never violated the TOS since I never tried to solicit a Head-Fi member. I posted both positive and negative reviews, as does everyone else, and would recommend a product on its own merits, as does everyone else.

If you haven't noticed, I edit 99% of my posts. I like to review my posts for grammar and content. In addition, if I see something I typed that was inappropriate, I do my best to rectify it. That's the mature thing to do.

Oh, so now you're playing favorites. I see how the moderators around here work.

Just an observation: some people here really need to get acquainted with the "multi-quote" option. It is so annoying to see 4 or 5 posts by the same person quoting a different thing.

You see the "quote" button you always press when quoting somebody? Right next to it is a button called "multi".

Use it please.

Like this. This way, it doesn't falsely inflate your post count.

That would be the false inflation that I'm talking about. Quality, not quantity is what makes a person a valued asset on an information forum.
There's a big difference between someone who's been on since 2006 and has 8000 posts, and someone who has been on since 2001 and has 5000 posts.

IPodPJ,
your actions can easly be interpreted as shilling. it doesn't matter if your correspondence with VD is via Head-Fi bandwidth or not.

Thank you bigshot for finally digging this up! I've always suspected that there are a few rotten tomatoes in this field.

I love bigshot...

Good job not taking that powercord. The company is so shady I would hate to have to deal with them for anything, even if it is 'free'.

Edit: Has IPodPJ been banned yet? he certainly should be...

Respecting someone for their integrity and courtesy is hardly being a groupie.

Recognizing that IpodPJ has made himself vulnerable to the charge he is a shill is unavoidable at this point, IMO.
