Steve can a reason be given as to why the Geddes forum has been closed??????
Thank you for the explanation and I heartily agree that a forum should always be open to competing thoughts. I understand quite well why you decided to go in a different directions now.Expanding on Steve's point, our goal for expert forum is for expert to share information broadly. It is not meant to be a customer support or pre-sales forum whatsoever. While we allow some amount of deviation which involve the specific products or services the expert is involved in (as examples, or answers to direct questions), it is essential that the bulk of discussion be broad and even include competing products as the topic dictates.
Of course, it is hard to always enforce the above rule. But if an unbiased observer stands back and evaluates the whole picture and the expert forum looks like an extension of the company's web site, then we have violated the above rule. And with it, only serving the interest of the few people who are interested in that product, rather than the field in general.
But I can say that he is well known and very innovative
