I notice venki is logged into the board. Can we expect any comments on this? I notice the pics are still on the Ebay site. Venki??

Hello Everyone,

I am sure i exchanged a few Pms with steve when he began testing on our bulbs a while ago about the use of the pictures, but it has since been deleted.

I didn't expect it to create problems at this point of the game. It has been while and my memories tend to fade. So to avoid any further controversies we'll be removing the pictures from the listings.

Listings that do have bids on them cannot be modified, we'll be removing the from all auctions as they expire.

Regret any inconvenience.

Thanks

Venki

the bad part about this was that if you would have checked with me and given me credit for the pictures and visual tests I probably wouldn't have minded.

to explain my view a little more is I had to pay approximately 200.00 to be able to do these tests as a benefit to people on Canreef in researching a new product. now I am not rich, but I do enjoy testing things. Now I see the business using my data (pictures) to make money. usually a business pays for test results on a product or at least sends what they want to be tested to the tester for free as you did with JBNY when they want to use the outcome for there advertising. I did notice that you gave JBNY credit and a link off your page as well. sorry I just feel like I was taken advantage of.
