I have to admit this is pretty hilarious. Especially what david slater has said.
LOL
"Shot themselves in the foot" "made me a very unhappy bunny" LOL do you think they could give a toss what anyone on here thinks? 99% on here are not and in all likelihood never be their customers anyway. I'm an exception and look how much stick I get lol. No, no the people on here are primarily bodge-it merchants who cant quite believe the prices that ionics can charge, so they're not loosing anything by upsetting a bunch of forum numpties. And as for nobody knowing what it is, thats wrong. Commercial customers ONLY know reach & wash, they dont say "waterfed pole system". LOL if its such a not-known-about thing then why is everyone and his dog falling over themselves to use it even illegally.
And LOL @ L.J.Thorpe. Think you might have meant my good self? I'll be honest, on this occasion I had nothing to do with reporting anyone, and I cant even remember the original thread.
HOWEVER, I would not hesitate to report someone if they were using the logo when they didnt have a real reach and wash system, especially if they were local to me.
Like I said, I think its pretty funny. My advice is, if you want to use their logo then do what I did and get one of their systems. Simple really.
Tennent,
Trust me on this fella.
You dont get 'stick' due to your support of Ionics, but because of your aggresive and argumentative style of posting.
I'm sure Ionics squirm just as much when they read your posts as they do mine.
Your style of your posting is to attempt to belittle and intimidate other posters into backing down and accepting the status quo.
I try to highlight and challenge the accepted standard and see if there are other views/opinions/ideas.
A perfect case in point is the topic on Ionics crash testing standards.
You wade in and throw your (flawed) knowledge around in an attempt to make other posters back down. As soon as the issue was clearly highlighted and some very real concerns and very real solutions were highlighted you went very quiet for some strange reason.
Dont try and intimidate me Tennent. TALK and DISCUSS your thoughts and ideas with me. I will listen and I may even take on board what you're saying.
The amount of help and information/advice I have received from these boards is staggering. Its just a shame you dont want to share your knowledge in the same spirit.
If you want to argue with me, thats fine. We can arrange our very own "lets throw insults at each other" thread.....I doubt it we be beneficial or helpful in the long run to anyone (including you or I).
You like Ionics and have found their products good value/reliable/serviceable/backup to be good/ etc etc Thats great! why not argue your point from that stance?
...But what would you do if someone came along with an even BETTER system?...you'd look ever so silly of you bought it!
