Re: HTMF: Bass Hole Electronics opens tech support office in India

You guys are getting very boring with your constant bashing of Bass.
This has been going on for years and it just makes you rather than
Robert look like fools or little kids.  You guys seem to fear
competition from DYIfers.  You shouldn't be so scared.  There is
plenty of work to go around, not to mention that a lot of the DIY
folks will end up going to a pro when they try to program their panel.
Don't be so scared.  I can't believe even the moderator who really
should be unbiased is on the constant slam.  I've ordered from Bass
before and he went way out of his way to help me.  He went as far as
calling long distance (when it wasn't free) on his dime for close to
an hour to help with an order as he noticed an issue with my order.
Robert had issues in the past, so what?  Sounds like he's gotten his
act together. I've had a business in the past, I know how quick some
people are to call the BBB.  It really means nothing anymore.  I'd
order from him in a second.  In fact I probably will for a friends
install that I'm helping with, just because you guys bashed him so
much.

Later,

Tomas
