DJL,
Why do you always assume to know and understand things you do not know. You say Stephen did not finish the mic. Why do you say this? Why do you even post it when you have no clue of what has taken place with this mic?
You then say Stephen never gave the final go. Do you read the minds of people, or can you offer proof to back up your statements? Why do you just blurt out statements with no foundation to it?
Furthermore, if people want to buy this mic without hearing it, then what possible business is it of yours to tell people what they can, or cant do? No one is asking you to buy it.
I have kept quiet about you for some time now. I have sat and watched you bait people into arguments, I have watched you be the one man wrecking machine to try and destroy my work.
I saw where you apologized in another thread, and I almost was willing to accept your apology, but now after reading what you posted here, I am not.
I will not call you names, or try to argue with you as that is pointless. With the exception of maybe two people on this entire group, I think it is obvious that most would prefer to see you leave. Just knowing that is enough for me, and you have to know and live with that each time you post here.
Now, if you were to ask these questions instead of telling people what you think you know, the answers and correct information would be this:
Stephen had already approved all stages of this mic, as well as some other models. The hold up is parts and final assembly. We do not have all the parts in yet. The manual has to be writen, and the Shock Mount finished. As soon as that is done, the mic can go to assembly and then it ships...End of story.
As for Tony, he has worked under Stephen for at leat 12 to 15 years that I know of. Tony knows everything there is know about the way Stephen did things, and the fact that Brent Casey and I have been in constant design meetings with Stephen gave us a complete understanding of what and how Stephen designed.
None of us is Stephen Paul, but we know what he wanted, and we will do that.
