Someone pissed off Jake & Len, replicating LE heads Options

a new thread on Air Cooled Technology:

it was not a smart move on someones part. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

All I see is Jake coming off looking poorly with what is shown here and I would like to think differently.

So, someone gets poor reviews when they take up for themselves and the things that they and their network create?

And remember: I started a thread on my private forums, not here. It never belonged here and it still doesn't.

At the present time there are complications involved with more definitive postings, we'll share details when the time is right and when it can be done without sacrifice.

But Jake, you are a business man who makes a great product and has a gift to do amazing things. When you come on here and don't say anything other than how great your lawyers are and that they will take care of it for you without even saying what the issue is just seems assholish. You have people on here trying to guess as to what actually happened without even telling them right or wrong. I see you created the thread on your private forum, but I cannot get in so I guess unless you explain it here I will never understand.

Jake, you seem to have a decent product line, but the way you conduct yourself here is embarrassing.

You're essentially agreeing, at this point, with the positions of people you called smart-asses on the previous pages. You withhold information that's of very limited use to anyone, and would seem to make your position stronger here, with your potential customers.

I also enjoy that you've just stated that your current products are not your best work, should we all wait until you release your new killer heads before buying?

If I were you I'd realize that your reputation is a large part of your product and that even if someone were to make an exact replica of your product, they would have a hard time selling it to the community. I would also consider how much value the good will of the community has. Coca Cola has (or until recently had) goodwill of customers listed as a BILLION dollar asset on their balance sheet.

Further, I'm still waiting on supertrapp results in the other thread, I'm somewhat suspect of you posting information after this thread has dropped off the front page, as a result.

I'd just focus on improving my work and let the people copy it, they'll be so far behind it won't matter. I could take a casting of the heads I had ported for my engine and all I would do is kinda amuse the guy who did them.

It's called "progress" ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
