>>>Unapologetic, recalcitrant, and unwilling to see the needs of the many.
Actually, the needs of many is what I'm trying to address. You're out playing "Officer Kafton" again and pissing'n'moaning that we didn't make it to your room while, in fact, I've had to deal with far more companies whose rooms we might of missed, or who wished we stayed their longer.
The way I see it Alan, you're not really trying to serve the industry, like you want it to appear. You're trying to serve yourself so you can save a few bucks, get free lunch, and a hotel room far, far away from The Strip.
Sorry, but we primarily go to CES for... you guessed it, CES.

And as I stated in an earlier post, Jeff Fritz DID make it to our room, and I had a very pleasant conversation with him. And I stated that I had plenty of coverage from other magazines, and have had the same in previous years. I'm very fortunate.If you think I'm pissing and moaning, it's for all the other exhibitors who have gotten short shrift from you. They deserve better treatment. That would be good for the industry, regardless where they exhibit. Do they not deserve to be seen?
How about Audio Note or Stillpoints? Are they obscure companies? How about Wavac? They were right next door to Artemis, which got great coverage. Could the writer not walk an extra 10 feet? How about Harbeth? They were just across the walkway, as was Purist Audio. But according to your show report, they don't exist.
You could have avoided all this negative exposure if you'd just left the thread alone a couple of days ago. But your ego wouldn't allow it.
And with your extreme myopia and market ignorance, you see things as a black/white, either/or proposition. 'Tis a pity, and no matter how you rationalize it, exhibitors and your readership are the losers for it. My customer said it quite well.

Hi Officer Kafton,
I'm really, really glad you out playing policeman for the industry and keeping track of who does what. The world needs more people watching out for to ensure everyone gets a fair shake. Thanks for the great work.

(If you sense that I'm starting to tire of this, you're right. Thanks for your input and see you next year... hopefully at the Venetian.)
