I wanted to say(from my previous post) what Peter said but couldn't spit the right words out.

I have done an investigation into this issue and now have the facts.

In my investigation Jack was targeted by an international marketing firm (USUK inc) because of his vast knowledge of every product, his massive reputation within the industry and his coercive manner. I have documents (and some embarrassing pictures) in my possession showing that Jack in a Russian speaker training camp going over the in's and out's of being a shill. You think that the pics of Jack, Mark, Craig and Ray were innocent? If you view them long enough you will see the word "Rocket" flash thousand of times a second. Futher evidence of the brain washing.

Now, now you say. This is not the Jack we all know and love!! Believe me, this went through my head as well but because of our inactivity Ray has been mind washed! I cringe when I think of who is next.

Mark, don't be so cynical.

I have NEVER said I prefer the Rockets. What I HAVE said is there are things about the Rockets I prefer; there are things about the Axioms I prefer.

I hate to break it to you, but if I "do not "truly love" the Axiom sound, I do not "truly love" the Rocket sound either. How many times must I say this. I have NEVER heard a perfect speaker. Each has flaws.

Though I may be wrong, I don't believe I ever said I was "dissatisfied" with the Axiom sound. If I did, I misspoke. "Dissatisfied, implies I was looking for something better. At no time was I ever looking for anything better than the Axiom M60s. When I first received my M22s, I missed something, that was completely solved by moving to the M60s. I refer you to this post. If that's being "dissatisfied." I'll have to plead guilty.

Define "prolific internet poster." I've been a member at AVS since July 2003 and have a grand total of 347 posts for an average of .58 posts per day. Not exactly prolific. While I have posted at 3 other general forums, I have probably less than 25 posts at each.

Therefore, I have not been "let loose" on the forums. In the two months I've had the Rockets, I've been involved in only one thread where I defended Mark Schifter against totally unsupported accusations. I have never defended Rocket speakers. I don't believe, other than that one thread, I've even mentioned Rockets other than here and at av123. If I have, it has been so few times that I don't remember them. Mark must be very disappointed in the "instant sales" I've failed to generate.

Why is it "silly" to believe Mark had any other motive than doing something nice for someone. You ask "Why not give the stuff to somebody with no HT? or with Bose?"

Perhaps his gift to me has something to do with the fact that I'm a Viet Nam veteran. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I'm the sole caregiver for my 92 year old Mother who has dementia and needs constant care. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that, in the 4 and 1/2 years I've been caring for her 24/7, 7/52, with not one day off, I've been out of this apartment maybe 20 times socially, and almost never for more than an hour or two. When my friends are in town they are gracious enough to gather at a restaurant nearby so I can run home every hour to check on Mom. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that in 4 1/2 years I've not been to a movie or a concert, and that my only form of entertainment is my A/V system. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I'm fighting rheumatoid arthritis myself, am in constant pain. Or, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I have little money other than my Social Security disability. Perhaps Mark found all this deserving. Perhaps you don't. Regardless, I chose to believe that Mark just wanted to do something nice for someone.

Since I have never been "dissatisfied" with my Axioms, I'll bite. Who do YOU think misinformed Mark that I was dissatisfied with my Axioms?

You know, I did not fully read Bigwills comment and I have to agree, it is offensive. I hope to hell you were kidding with your comments. To even think that Jack would be "targeted" in any fashion is utterly ignorant to say the least. To shoot off at the mouth like that is an insult not only to Jack but to the forum as a whole. I also have seen the kindness of the people over at av123 and to read into that kindness is in a word sad. I think you owe Jack both a private and public apoligy for such a stupid set of comments. As Ray put it, this is a hobby, who really cares what speakers float your boat? Bigwill, do you really care enough that you have to make a comment that could hurt someones feelings? Open you eyes!

In fairness, I don't think Jack's integrity was ever questioned by BigWill or anyone else. The "offending post" said exactly the opposite, in fact -- that Jack was someone who could be trusted and therefore if he was a happy owner people would know it was because the speakers were good not because he had been given anything...

You know what I mean.

One other comment. What we're seeing here is the curse of the internet. You can type something with a big grin on your face for the sole purpose of yanking someone's chain for fun, but nobody knows that when the post hits the board. It's really [EDIT] easy to get caught up, say something intended to be in jest, and have it taken the wrong way.

I think that is what happened here. Everyone go try a new beer and report back in 30 minutes in the beer thread. I only have rye, hope that is OK

John,

You may, in fact, be correct. As such, I have deleted my post. Thank you for the cool headed assessment.

Ray

I hope you are right. I for one did not read his post that way. If it was a joke then I am sure that he will not have a problem stating that.
