I just would like to add a few words to a topic completely changed from it's initial purpose.
Though Davidzo seems to be a genuine "mole", it's amazing how the discussion tends allways to fall on the Country/Politics side to try to justify some point.
To me, part of this confusion, is dued to Cathar himself, for not being able to treat this issue in the proper manner - a commercial/business manner.
Maybe because he hasn´t choosen yet which way to go, ie. full-time manufacturer or a hobbyist (a very qualified one). In my personal and humble opinion, the launch of this waterblock should have happened in his web site, with the apropriated pictures and the formal description of the product.
Let me compare this with the MCW6000 launch, which also received attention in this forum. Two different approaches.
As for BillA, I regard your function more than a tester (especiallly in this forum), but as a marketing person and a trend-setter, and a big sales motor for Swiftech.
So as an employee of Swiftech, with outlined objectives, your actions tend to reflect positively or negatively on the shape of the image your Company gets.
Now, you say you like Europeans, but nevertheless, you criticized the italians on the Cathar/radiator thread; the French in the case of Rosco, and the Germans.
It seems that you need everybody to achieve your goals, but at the same time you dispraise them.
Finally mixing WC with politics and/or cultural references about various countries (European or not) can lead to wrong results.
For example, is buying a U.S. made WC the same as helping the war in Iraq?
I think NOT.
So, unless the "politic" of proudly alone is the standard, can we overcome each other's egos and move along?
