that is why they only react when the time is on our side, the photographers , when we are planning
TO BUY.....
only money count in this world even in a passionate forum of photography.
they are client of the forum as they advertise , freedom...
as you said ridiculous !
best.
If Doug (Peterson, I presume) and David (Grover, I presume) requested the banner be removed, there are reasons. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer wants information leaked in advance on a major new product (at least in this case), and there can be valid reasons for that, one of which is that they are preparing and this pushed things up in the timetable, also creates the potential for misinformation.
But from the user perspective, who doesn't like to provide breaking news or leaked news? I like to read about new products as much as anyone, and the sooner I can find out, the better!
However, my main point is that I see nothing wrong with a dealer or - especially - a manufacturer
requesting leaked information be removed in advance of a launch. However, they cannot force anyone to do so. And removing it was the decision of the poster. So - I disagree with attaching blame to the manufacturer/dealer.
