Members Jeff da Weasel Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Craig, I sent you a question about the end of the universe and you never answered it! So I guess I will have to wait for the end of the universe to find out what happens! Thanks a LOT, you evil bastard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Songman68 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 I have been patient in waiting for an answer. I know he is a busy man. However it has been about three weeks now so I am no longer concerned about it. I just wont buy the reverb kit because my questions weren't answered.

Members flemtone Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Have you ever read something, then put it off to the side for a more convenient time, then forgotten about it? Happens to the best of us - even, I dare say, to people you know. If you want, try PMing him again. Being snotty doesn't work, at least not with my kids. Craig is the nicest guy on these boards, so have patience and give him the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said is that I would not be buying his reverb kit from PAIA becasue he didn't answer my questions. So stop being a smart arse about it.

Members Songman68 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2007 Turns out I don't need him to answer my questions after all. I found the info I was looking for on PAIA's site. But still find it a little troubling that I reached out for help from him and I got no help.

Phil O'Keefe Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Now that was funny. +1 Sometimes we miss emails and PM's - Things get busy, we see it but have to run to an appointment (and then it gets knocked off page one of our email list and we miss it the next time we check), etc. etc. I'm sure if you sent him a polite reminder, or second email he would get back to you. I get a LOT of emails and calls requesting my POV about gear, or advice on techniques or whatever, and I'm not "Craig Anderton" - I can only imagine how much he's gotta be getting. And while I do my best to get back to everyone (as I'm sure Craig does too), it's not always the top of our priority list; what with having forums to oversee, recording sessions to attend to, articles to write (and in Craig's case, books, magazines to edit, etc. etc.), families to spend time with, etc. Craig IS one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and as knowledgeable about gear as anyone I've ever met... and he does appear to enjoy helping people... but remember, he's taking the time out of his day to provide that help, and for free, and even though it's a product he designed, he's not the "sales rep" for it, and so when you're asking for his help, I'd advise a bit of patience and a little understanding, instead of letting frustration get the best of you.

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted November 25, 2007 CMS Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Craig I had a question about the reverb tank that you designed for PAIA and sent it to you, but you never answered it. So I guess I will not be buying your reverb tank kit form PAIA then.Is that a treat? Or a promise? Let's see. that project was probably around 25, maybe as much as 30 years ago. Out of couriosity, why do you want to buy one now? Craig is a busy man, but he does get around to answering e-mail eventually. Maybe he figured that since it's really a "legacy" project, you weren't in all that much of a hurry so your mail went to the bottom of the pile. You might try posting your question here. Unless you wanted to know something that only Craig would know (and I doubt if he rememberes what color shirt he was wearing when he first fired up the reverb) perhaps someone else could help you. I put together one of those Paia reverb kits a very long time ago. I still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand all that Phil. I know that he is a really busy man and he seems nice to me as well. Plus he has lots of obligations including family. Family always comes first and financial obligations come second. As for the wait I feel I have been very patient. I sent the PM to him about three weeks a go and this is the first time I have mentioned a word about it. It doesn't matter now though because I did find my answer by doing more in depth research.

That sounds like a pretty nice thing to do, Songman! I think these guys are just having an L-Tryptophan overdose hangover from all that turkey binging.
