Tony,
I was stating that I had no problem with mike sending me emails to promote his new brushes, he's a nice guy, l like him, a good businessman.
It doesn't matter whether Kevin mentioned mikes name or not, he left enough details in there for the people in the know, to know who he was talking about. Believe me everyone knew within minutes. And those who weren't aware, would do so with a quick google search.
Would I buy his brushes? No because I already have my own brushes. Would they work? Of course, there's half as much surface area, so there's double the point pressure. They look like 46g tynex filaments so they should cut.
I'm not going to speculate on how much better they are, if the price is right etc etc. at the end of the day it is a product that someone will either purchase or not. I'm not against people having an opinion, that's what a forum is for.
Digging out on someone to promote your own wares which is basically what this thread is about, smacks of negativity and desperation. Face it, you'll always have competitors, how you respond and deal with it, is how you will be remembered. As a negative or positive influence, you decide.
Just my opinion....
