Never happened with me, wouldn't have happened with Steve. People really do have the wrong idea here, one of the reasons I'm glad to be done with it.
I will personally try to be careful about what I say here, because if I pass on something that I know or that Wendell said, some will inevitably assume that I'm acting on his behalf.
In any case, Wendell has made it clear that anyone with a question can call him, and in addition there's the "Ask the Factory" thread on the Planar Circle for quick questions.
Follow Ups:
if you (or Steve) have not/will not be transcribing telephone discussions ("I had a nice talk with Wendell"), then you are necessarily doing exactly what Davey said you are doing: re-posting his emails.
Which is it?
?
When I reposted his emails, I said something like "Wendell passed this on" or something like that. I was merely acting as a go-between.
Anything else I wrote in the thread was mine, made at my own behest and without consultation.
Unfortunately, the awkward arrangement led to some confusion, e.g., people sometimes thought that my replies were coming from Wendell. It was easy for people to get the idea that I was acting as some kind of company representative.
That was the sole point of my response to Davey. You have no idea how tired I am of this stuff. Or maybe you do, given my generally pissed-off mood lately. :-)
Which returns to the fundamental observation I and others have made: it takes no *extra time* to type his responses here than to type them to you.
The question of "the time it takes to respond to posts" is a completely separate issue.
Haven't we sort of discussed this to death?
I've addressed this so many times I'd need to use scientific notation to count them.
In any event, it's Wendell's decision, not mine, and I'm no longer acting as the group's liaison. If you have any questions, I suggest you ask him.
you continue to acknowledge the obvious...
And you won't, so I'd say we're about even.
You have previously failed to acknowledge you are taking what Wendell typed to you and have RE-typed it here.
Time savings for Wendell: ZERO.
Sheesh, and people wonder why Wendell doesn't post here.
I'm afraid you'll have to peddle your lies elsewhere, E-Stat. I have nothing more to say.
When I reposted his emails...
What lies?
That typing here takes more time that typing to you? You make no sense.
I've disabled my email notifications and will no longer be responding to these posts.
I'm curious E-Stat. Why does it matter? Why does it matter if wendell chooses to stay out of the fray - pass on some information - and have someone else do it? If he thinks it saves him time and someone wants to do it - then so what? I'm not gonna argue that. Maybe his eyes suck or he's a lousy typist or just doesn't want to monitor or be grilled on things. But maybe he does like to pass on info. I welcome it actually as I think it makes a better forum. If someone here wants to carry the torch where is the harm.
Maybe we don't agree with everything said or supported initiatives. But again we can just change the channel can't we?
Maybe some questions go unanswered because of it. Oh well.

The question has always been about the bogus excuse used that he "doesn't have time to post here" when typing an email to whoever takes no longer than typing here.
E-Stat, *not everyone is you.* You may be able to make a comment and leave things to play out. Not everyone can. I know that I couldn't.
You just said he's making a bogus excuse. I am sure you were sincere in what you said, but it's a good example of why, if I were in Wendell's shoes, I would have a hard time ignoring follow-ups.
Suppose someone said something about you, and it was inaccurate. As in "E-Stat doesn't really believe what he said about Wendell, he's just posting it to make trouble." Wouldn't you want to respond? I know that I would.
I can't speak for Wendell, but I know that I'd have a hard time staying out of that, and I suspect you would as well; you're just as perseverative as I am.
And these misapprehensions occur all the time. I responded to one about the "i" mod just a few days ago. Then others in the charity thread.
Anyway, Wendell has declined to do this, and no one else at Magnepan wants the job. He's invited anyone here to call him if he has a question, and Steve Ford will continue to pass things back and forth on the Planar Circle, so if anyone isn't comfortable calling, they can go there.
Haha. So what excuse does cut it? I have a full time job and at night I go home to my wife... ? Which equates to the same as the above. And you must admit - throwing one mail or conversation and having someone fairly knowledgeable follow up fielding any additional questions would cut down on anyone's time while still passing on info he wanted to send to the group... seems fairly harmless.
you want a surrogate to officially answer company directives?
Why?
'Officially'?? Company directives? This is an audio forum not a board room. Anyway. I understand you seem to want more and are just not getting it.
I understand you seem to want more and are just not getting it.
Actually not. I appreciate Mr. Diller's need to focus on the current manufacturing backlog. I would, however, prefer that his thoughts be placed here by him.
For anyone who has product questions, call the factory!
