The way I see it, it is not so much about Jim having clarified his point of view, we all signed the ageement, and as Jarred stated, it is the particularity of Red, it is about "family". Some people don't like the way Red does business, that's because they're not part of the family and they don't get it. Some people are part of the family, those are the ones Red has offered this amazing deal to, because Red felt they stood by them in the begining, against all the nay sayers. They made proof of patience and leniency as Red grew, learned and delivered. When Red announced, a new camera, I was sad for my R1. When Red announced the deals, I was grateful but torn as to which one take, then stage 2 became an evidence because I didn't want to part with my R1. My R1 is what I used to invest in my company, I made a contract with my company, that if we were ever to part, the R1 comes back to me and I can leave with it. Red offered us a deal because they new some people were attached, like they were, to their R1. People deciding to take advantage of Red's offer, being able to KEEP their R1, yet get an incredible deal on an Epic, and deciding to sell their R1, to make money, are breaking the deal, and most importantly, and quite understandably in my opinion, breaking the heart of people at Red. That is the particulalrity of Red, it goes beyond just business, that's what irritates some, and I understand that also, because that's not how they're used to doing business, but it's like their cameras (and raw), it's new and different, difficult to get your head arround it in the begining, but once you do, it makes sense. I love being part of the family. Thank you Red.
