Personally, I don't think anybody should take blame for disbelieving someone who's 1st and 2nd post sound like pure advertisement. If he's genuine, how am I supposed to know that? How many people have posted here as regular users to peddle crap. Roaming around here for Mac news and such, but only thought it was worthy to post here when he wanted to say something about a speaker?
But oh wait, he's a student who owns a company that uses an XServe, and he showed us a picture of his setup. The picture doesn't mean much.
His posts are the same as those of someone who was trying to sell something, got caught, and wanted to sound geniune and make you feel guilty for even suggesting that his intentions weren't genuine.
Now whether he was genuine or not.....well, I don't know. But after reading 3 of his posts (including the one in the other thread), he sounds like he's advertising, so how can anyone be guilty of disbelieving him?
I can totally understand your concern. Frankly, if I were common to this forum, i maybe would be a little pissed (at first) as well: some random person with no creditability throwing out a sales-pitch-like review and expecting everyone to believe it. How dare he?
Well, I dared. I have always had a passion for mac stuff but never really had anything too different to say besides what was already being said in these forums (or forums in general). So, when I had something unique, something I felt would enchance the mac that much further beyond those rediculous windows boxes, I wanted to have my voice heard! I wanted to gain attention to this product because I think it was great, and would basically just make people's experience at their macs that much better.
This is what it comes down to: by me telling you about this product, I am getting no money or kick backs or anything from Niro. I am getting absolutely nothing from these posts except for a headache while reading these continous aligations, where as originally I was hoping to spark a constructive and thoughtful discussion about this product and it's use with the Mac.
But, i guess this is a fundamental problem with the veil cast over everyone and everything when it comes to communication through the internet: you have no idea who I am, what I do, or if I can be a marginally creditable forum poster.
So beyond this, I am wasting my time trying to validate who I am or what I do. Take my word as you will, and post back if you want to discuss the system... Otherwise, lets stop wasting hard drive space complaining about if I am creditable or not.
Take care and good night.
