I do follow the Storm treads on head-fi, I don't like the latest one...
I have decided not to post in Storm threads, just in case COEM Audio gets dragged in to the mess.
I'm sure someone will say "COEM are in on the scam" or something silly.
COEM didn't just answer your question. If you can't read between the lines and comprehend what John is saying to you, clearly there is something wrong with your ability to process information.
Let me explain my reasoning on the whole endorsement thing. It stands to reason that COEM, in light of the controversy surrounding Ken and his business, would make damn sure they knew who they were dealing with. If COEM suspected Ken of being the ripoff fraud liar you're accusing him to be, it follows that they would probably not be doing business with him. Since they are doing business with him, logic dictates that there is a distinct possibility that they are reasonably sure he's legitimate.
I'm not saying Ken's legitimate. As I've said many times, I don't have that information. I'm just trying to help you digest an e-mail you posted to this thread.
I can see progress here is unlikely. I may stop in for fun once in a while, but for now I am going to leave you people to your Bizarro World Kumbaya.

What I read between the lines is that COEM does not want to get involved in his thread, beyond their answers to my quesitons for which I am greatly appreciative. By going and saying COEM audio knows Ken is a legitimate business, that doesn't put them in a position that judging from the email they most likely wouldn't want.
You are saying something is black. I'm saying it's round. I am not arguing whether or not COEM audio thinks Ken is legitimate and that they don't think this thread is good, and my apologies if I led you to believe oherwise. I am deliberately avoiding putting COEM audio in the position of having to be "pro/against Ken" in the interest of COEM audio, specifically where Jason cites the possibility of someone saying "COEM is in on it!" I posted their reply, and that's where it should end.
There isn't any progress to be made if we're talking about two different things. Nor if we're calling each other stupid. In any case, I am not posting emails confirming Ken's story to make him look bad. My position is that I am welcome to a resolution in this matter, however I don't believe this should be chronicled in such a way on Head-fi as to promote, deliberately or not, further orders. Perhaps once Ken has proven he can follow through, but no when so many forum members have had their money taken from them.
The point of this thread, in my mind, is for people who think this issue's recent turn of events no longer makes it exclusive to a certain number of members. Some people think Head-fi is indirectly supporting a scam operation, some may disagree. I believe that as a resource for both new and experienced audiophiles, the site has some level of responsiblity. You won't make any enemies from me, and I welcome your continued discussion.
