My sentiments exactly, I was about to type something very similar but have had a busy morning and hadn't gotten to it yet. I try to steer clear of lists that allow this behavior to continue. As moderator of this list, I should have cracked down on this quicker than this. I appreciate your support during my lapse of moderating effort :) Tone it down folks, lets start the new year out right.
Respectfully, Rick Harnish President OnlyInternet Broadband & Wireless, Inc. 260-827-2482 Founding Member of WISPA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Scrivner Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 12:03 PM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Alvarion Comnet Radios have arrived Brad, I just am getting a bit gun shy now when I see you post a complaint about no polarity this - no dual band that - or whatever your beef of the day is with VL. When you do it we inevitably get to see Patrick or Brad Larson go into defense mode which gets tiresome also. It is like some twisted tennis match that has no love. (pun intended) It might be different if it were not the same story told over and over again. I am sorry I felt compelled to come down on you guys about these things but I am getting very annoyed and I bet I am not alone. With that said I can also say that Alvarion does not get to bash Trango or Canopy or others on here any longer. Alvarion representatives will be called on this from now on when it happens. I have seen Trango and Canopy both represented in a very bad light by 2 Alvarion representatives on this list in the last 48 hours and it needs to stop. Intelligent comparisons about features and benefits are encouraged. Trashing one vendor over another (by a vendor) is going to stop right now. WISPs get to complain (briefly please) about issues they have with vendors. We all need to know what is working and what is broken. Sometimes the problem can be solved by others who saw the same thing and know a solution. Sometimes the vendor can intervene and be the hero for all to see. Vendors need to use this list as a resource and see first hand what people are saying about their products. They should help their customers here, on the list, when they can. Trying to defend every statement made leads to flame wars and hurt feelings and generally does not help solve anything. Use the list the way it was intended please. This is my number one issue here today. To all of you, this list was not created to be a place where people complain endlessly about gear all day long just as it is not a place to advertise gear all day long. This is not the purpose. Say your complaints and attaboys clearly and mean them and then move on. If you are a vendor and want to compare your features and such then so be it but no more trashing the other guy on here. It is tiresome, childish and non-productive and, imho, it hurts the image of this association when you guys do it. I will gladly continue this debate / discussion / flame / whatever offlist. I will not complain about you guys on here any longer. Continuing to complain over and over again about you guys on here would be redundant and non-productive, right? I think I have made my point clearly and I am ready to move on. Let's have a Happy New Year and start next year off right with good posts with substance that help our industry prosper.
