Ales and Mike, It seems I owe you my sincere apologies. You will hopefully forgive me if I do not ring you internationally. I belong to an age group where the public telephone in the high street was the only one available and cost an arm and a leg in pocket money to ring anybody, anywhere. I do most of my international correspondence by email and have done so for years. Long experience suggests that it is almost completely reliable if the servers don't actually throw my ramblings straight back at me. My assumption that the Scope Club Forum was iStar's was a completely false assumption based on my reading much of the content here. Though I did not read the Welcome statement because I arrived via an online search. A clear oversight on my part. As an [unbiased] moderator and owner of other, non-astro related forums I would have spent my first few seconds of forum set-up ensuring that the independence of this forum was perfectly clear in the first line of the Welcome board. This would be permanently visible the moment the Home button was pressed. As a relative newcomer to this particular forum I agreed with your assessment that very few visitors posted here. I attempted to "liven things up" but with only a few responses. For which I am grateful but still completely mystified. Many direct, iStar product-related questions go unanswered here. Not just for days but for months or years. As a moderator I always consider it my first duty to make the enquirer feel that somebody is listening. It takes guts to go online and become the center of attention. How is that show of bravery rewarded here? If it receives no response then the poster feels like a fool! Not to receive any response is close to deliberately ignoring them! If they thought that this was iStar's forum would you still go ahead and make that purchase? "Word of mouth" sales are by far the best advertising you never have to pay for. [Except in maintaining perfect product and service quality.] Others, less deserving, have to employ hugely expensive advertising to flog their dying horse to a jaded public sick to death with endless hype and intrusive spam. Fortunately, for them, they can always find enough copycat dopes to take their shoddy wares. I would strongly encourage you to find time to monitor this forum and respond quickly to direct queries about your products. This would [arguably] be some of the most [financially and personally] rewarding time you ever spend promoting your wares and building a solid reputation. Even if you do not make an instant sale you have shown that you are not only human but responding to your entire [global] audience. As a new customer of iStar I researched everything I could find about iStar online. How else was I to judge the safety of my funds and how much I was risking in my purchase of a completely unknown quality? Your company seems not to enjoy the highest standing in certain circles where independence of judgement seems to be seriously lacking. As one of the largest astro-related forums this clear moderator bias must raise serious doubts about their personal motives. I buy a lot of "stuff" online and judge a company almost entirely by its speed and quality of correspondence as well as its performance. Those firms I most admire bounce several emails back to me instantly confirming receipt of my order, then confirming payment has been received and promising early dispatch. I then receive another email, sometimes on the very same day, confirming dispatch and providing tracking details. A later email request to review my purchasing experience will usually be acted upon. Yes, I know it is all completely automated, but it impresses me that my custom warranted their close attention to such detail. They make me feel important for those precious few minutes when I am not just one of the crowd. This automated "sales ploy" feeds the "instant gratification" we can now all enjoy thanks to the computer and the Internet. I do like to be kept informed of progress while I am [hopefully] at the front of the long queue at the shop counter. I have wasted far to much time queuing in my life and I want my precious turn in the spotlight.
