On the postings from our Greek friends. From my personal perspective, I prefer to thank them for their contributions to this community, rather than treating their views in a negative manner. Although it is always possible that they have an agenda in highlighting their experiences in this forum, they are just as likely as any other forum member posting here to have an agenda in their messages. I believe that it is still possible that they mean well, and I would like to think this way about our community.
However, I believe that there will be little Torsten can do to restore his standing with the Greek forum community, especially in the short term period running up to the consummation of this Project. Even if he does immediately provide restitution, it may be considered to be a few months too late, and hence does not restore his standing.
Although the feedback from our Greek friends may be relevant for our consideration, I believe, for the reasons pointed out by FORaSEC, that we have to assess this Project independently. At this point, for us to assess this Project independently, I believe it may be more important for FORaSEC to give us some insight on the level of control he may have in the execution of the Project. For example, we will be able to assess the Project better, if we have information on whether production will be at a manufacturing facility of good standing (preferably not the same as that which produced for the Gr Forum), and whether the production / quality manager and the production facility can be changed without FORaSEC's consent or knowledge. Unfortunately, for Torsten, at this time, we can only give him the benefit of doubt. At least, he has admitted (through FORaSEC) to open product issues and has said he will take care of them.
Like many, I am willing, based on the support he has here, to trust that FORaSEC will try his best to deliver a successful project. In short, the greater the control he has, the greater our level of confidence. I am not as much concerned with monetary loss. Like many, I am willing to take a bet (I call it a bet only because I have not had the pleasure of transacting with him before) that FORaSEC will stand by this project. My main concern is the poor execution for a project this promising, and for a movement this desirable. Any insight FORaSEC can give on how this project will be managed, will be helpful.
