    Just a heads up.

    I got a private message from a member who was warned about "marketing" on this thread, when in fact the only marketing has been done by "others" on this site. That member merely was reporting some positive news about the Nakamichi and its demo.

    Being threatened with expulsion for expressing one's point of view is not a good thing for this forum, and I hope that "people" in authority become aware of that. Creative's advertising on AVS should not impact objectivity, because members have a right to fair and accurate reporting and reviews. Pushing a ridiculously priced soundbar, and calling it the "Soundbar of the Gods" will only weaken this site.

    In any event, making points diplomatically (but truthfully) is the best course of action.
    I don't want to see you censured.

    I swear I was waiting for the first mention of a Creative Sonic Carrier "bug" to emerge. I didn't know much about Creative beyond the soundcards found in many computers, but this huge marketing manipulation on the forum made me look into the background of the company.

    It ain't pretty, and without getting deeply into it, the least negative thing about them is that they have a tendency to produce seemingly innovative, high-priced, advertising-heavy products which have many bugs, and which are backed up with less than proactive customer support.

    This will be an interesting story to watch.
