[QUOTE="Chris Marshall, post: 12950285, member: 206"]I plead guilty on that one; I was burned out following numerous efforts (e.g. on Facefook). The pure ignorance there really put me off. Situations in which people claim (and then troll-confirm) that a certain mark with original importer sticker was genuine KPM Berlin (even if it clearly was made in Japan for Arnart) are becoming more and more the norm. Threads move fast, without a possibility to backup and recap on answers, such nonsense "sticks" in the mind of viewers, which then mindlessly repeat it. Not forgetting cases where certain paysites threatened me after I took apart their business model and specific statements regarding an "expertise" that was none. People know me; I don't back down on threats (as some repro junk dealers know only too well by now). I rather concentrated on restructuring my website. Nothing people would directly notice right now, but the framework was improved and the archive behind it has gone through some impressive growth (e.g. pattern lists from Edelstein, Heinrich, and such or the whole "fake Bavaria" items from Italy). And I am finally bringing back the whole "unidentified, repro and fake" section when I get the new menu system running for good as that will greatly improve mobile use (which is really ugly at the moment, due to some shifts in how mobiles handle sites like mine). So without wanting to promise too much ... you might see me around more often now :)[/QUOTE]
