I'm not going to give a product a thumbs up if it doesn't perform as billed. I don't want to deal with emails or even face to face conversations where people basically say " this thing stinks, you lied ."

 

That said, I also can not be responsible for :

 

1. A user's in ability to use a product

 

2. A user who installs software or hardware for an UNSUPPORTED configuration and complains about problems

 

3. A user who has a flaky system in the first place

 

4. Failure to RTFM

 

5. The one odd time a bad product does get shipped to ONE user who then assumes all the products made are bad because of their own unique experience. A company can ship thousands of items, but it seems like the one time their product isn't right, some user will cry out and make a huge stink like everyone is having the same problem when in reality, its just them.

 

As they say, your milage may vary depending on what you do with something and how knowledgable you are.

 

My word to you is that I'll always make every effort to be honest about what I experience. That doesn't mean I can't make a mistake, or have a different experience then you. I'm simply reporting what I experienced.
