Subject:Re: My vote for a separate Speakeasy list


So anyway .....I just wanted to add something here. The reason I started
this thread is that I have observed that for a long time, the Speakeasy
posts have taken up a large portion of the discussion.

I am slightly to somewhat uncomfortable with the degree of vested
interest that the Speakeasy company seems to have among this list.

Hopefully I am not foolish enough to suggest that because something is
outside of my budget it should not be part of the discussion. I
apologize forwhat may seem to imply that. That is just part of my own
reason for not having a a tremendous amount of interest in Speakeasy
gear. It should not be considered as the primary reason that I would
suggest that there be a separate list for Speakeasy supporters.

But just as there is a separtate group for Roland users (VK Corral) I am
starting to think that there might be a need for a Speakeasy group.

The main reason for this is because I am starting to get a sense that
there is A LOT of free advertising being aimed at us. I can't know for
sure, but I am getting the sense that for a long time there have been
"preferred customers " among us.

It also seems to be fairly uncommon that anyone has submitted any
negative experiences posted about Speakeasy. I have actually received
some in private communications..... but those people are perhaps
reluctant to post anything.

I guess its just that, when one thing tends to dominate discussion it
makes me wonder.
