Did i really say that?
I will carefully go through EACH email and PM i wrote, to find WHERE i said it. And if i did, i'm gonna regret not talking to Steve before posting...
However, even if i did say that (and i don't remember it, while normally i remember things like that VERY WELL!), i waited for three or maybe even four weeks before posting ANYTHING. I should check how long ago it was, when i first sent him the test results, but it was a LONG TIME AGO!
The only reason i posted was, because DrLava made me feel guilty for not doing so sooner, when he asked me "Have you posted this info yet?" upon seeing the results...
At that moment, i realized:
1. That the diodes are still for sale and
2. that people still expect 8x or at least 6x-like results from them!
And i don't think ANYONE can disagree with the fact, that they don't deliver 8x nor even 6x-like results!
And since they were still being sold, i thought it would be wise to warn people not to buy them with false expectations.
If Steve and i really had such an agreement as you describe above, then i would also expect him to remove diodes from sale UNTIL HE HAD A CHANCE TO FIND OUT FROM THE SUPPLIER WHAT WAS UP (to put it your way)...
Now wouldn't that make MUCH more sense than just me waiting with posting the results?!? :thinking:
Or at least mentioning on the diode sale page, that there is a certain serious doubt regarding the thruthfulness of the specs of the diode, if not removing them completelly, until the matter was resolved?
I somehow expected the diodes to be removed from sale, until the matter was resolved, i don't know why.... Just like Steve expected me not to post the results for the same amount of time? Looks like we both had false expectations....
But i really need to check what / if anything we agreed on, other than that i would test the diodes, and later that i would help him proove to the supplier that the specs are not correct.
Thing is, i did not post this thread, to hurt Steve in ANY way!
I already told you - i like Steve! And i'm horribly sorry, if i offended him in any way...
I'd love to be able to buy good diodes from his store at any time (instead of having to deal with the lying Chinese always scaring me about stock running out, to make me buy more faster), and i'd love to cooperate with him in the future!
That's why i keep repeating, that STEVE IS OF NO FAULT HERE, and that HE WAS RIPPED OFF WORSE THAN ANY ONE OF US WHO BOUGHT THESE DIODES FROM HIM, simply for trying to do something good for everyone.
I also kept repeating, that PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT A DIODE WITHOUT WAITING FOR TESTING FIRST, SHOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING NOW, AS THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOW, THAT THEY WERE TAKING A RISK, AND BUYING THE DIODES FOR TESTING - that's what i bought them for!
From all of us, Steve took the greatest risk, when buying a whole stock of these diodes.... He lost WAY more money, than ANYONE who bought a diode (or three) from him, unless he gets his money back from the supplier, or real diodes in the end!
I was sad about losing my money, when i saw the test results, but i also felt bad for Steve! That's why I NEVER REQUESTED ANYTHING FROM HIM, at least until he could resolve the matter!
I will carefully check all my emails and PMs to Steve, to see what we agreed on..
But no matter what, i still believe, that it would not be right to have people buying these diodes expecting 8x or even just 6x-like results from them.
STEVE, If you are reading this: If i offended you in ANY way, i apologize!
Please understand, that this thread was at no time meant to be about YOU OR your store!
This thread was about you getting ripped off by a supplier!
And it was about warning people not to expect 8x or 6x-like results from these diodes , because clearly they did expect them, and clearly the diodes can't deliver them...
Later your supplier posted here, and the heading of this thread changed into your supplier getting ripped off by their supplier or manufacturer!
But at NO TIME was the thread about YOU doing anything wrong! It was always at least one and later even two steps away from that!
I sent you multiple emails with every graph and explanation i posted here, only in higher resolution (the originals, before resizing them for posting), every email i sent went to two of your email addresses simultaneously.
I hope that you got them! If you did, then PLEASE respond to one of them, so we can talk.
And if i really said i wouldn't post until you could resolve the matter (i'll check VERY CAREFULLY), then i have to apologize to you!
However in that case i don't understand why you would not have removed the diodes from sale for the same amount of time. If it wasn't for people telling me "you can now get 8x or 6x like diodes fresh from a tray", i would not have posted this thread!
this is perfect
And It is why you should post it on LEF so you two can work things out!
Until you do post on LEF it looks like what I am saying is true.
