As I've allways took side for the anonymus testin' people within the
SSDF - I now take the chance to comment this astonishing reaction from
my point of     view :

if it ain't possible to accept a done mistake, such as in case of the
very unlucky acceptance of the CB hardware, and to correct this mistake
by replacing the results by ones, done/ made new - as usually - not to
speak about an apologize towards whomever......

but instead  - and here I speak about the responsibles within the SSDF -
react
like Mimoses in the rain towards any critiques....

well - then they just gotta go - and put down this buisness.
The sun will remain shinin' for everybody, the next day - that's for
sure, so
noone should overestimate himself.

And for me it seems - very astonishing - to remain as polite as possible
- to
brand Ed Schröder's reaction as " childish behaviour ".
This man did nothin' else but tryin' to protect his product against,
what he
suggests as unfair + unclear competition - and this, for my opinion,
absolutely balanced + sound in taste + articulation -
so, what the heck ??
