Aside from the "shooting the messenger" comments, I would like to end my remarks as follows:
1. Ted commented Friday that he had been receiving complaints everyday, including calls to his home. Sending Ted another email to be added to the long list he receives every day would not have been productive. I thought for over 24 hours before I posted to the Red forum. I have no regrets for doing so if if results in better operations for all of us;
2. For some of you, English is not a first language. If you re-read what I said, my objection is not with the Red camera, my objection is with management developing NEW products, not Reds, while not addressing their back-room problems.
3. My net worth or the extent of my business experience is not important to my posting. Let's just say that I'm not inexperienced in the business world. That being said, I am pleased, like so many of you, that Red is so successful. But apparently unlike some of you, I don't own any stock in Red. I wish Red all the best as so many of you do. That does not diminish my comments that Red could be doing a lot better in taking care of customers who have shown good faith in depositing funds with Red only to experience repeated delays due to poor back room management. For all of you who have not received their Reds yet, what's more important to you, receiving your Red camera or the success of Scarlet?
4. Some of you responded that you were at the NAB DP seminars on Friday. If you continued to attend both on Saturday and Sunday, it is clearly obvious that many people are threatened by Red, from competitive vendors to older DP's who still look at film to be the only true medium. Comments by some, including panelists, were truly icy. I am pleased, as I have posted in the past, that there is such grass roots enthusiasm for Red, not only in the product, but the tremendous amount of time so many of you have taken to give advise to the company as well as other Red users.
I will be at the Red booth tomorrow and I'll introduce myself to management and we'll see what happens.
Now you can close the thread.
