Bill,

It does seem like a fine line, doesn't it? On one hand I know Gregg personally and I understand where he is coming from. He is passionate about his projectors and he had an opportunity that perhaps some of our members, myself included, who were considering the Panny and he thought he had a better option for us and I totally appreciate that, even if I didn't take advantage of it and even if Gregg did good-naturedly bust my chops over our dissenting opinion. I'm not bothered by Gregg making a profit (if he even was in this situation, which I partially doubt!), because he is a member here first and a businessman second. It's a slippery slope but I would hope that the membership realizes that this was an unusual situation from a trusted member, not a fly by night advertiser or someone whose whole purpose is to use the forum as eyeballs and not be an active participant like Gregg is. So I think that side of it is covered.Originally Posted by w2waytoo
As a new member to the forum & ISF member, am I the only one troubled by the fact that the moderator is using this forum for personal gain. This thread is supposed to be related to the topic at hand, a discussion of the merits of the new AE projector, not as a substitute for Ebay. If the moderator is unable or unwilling to restrain himself, I suggest someone else be appointed. Hopefully this post will not be deleted this time.
To me, projected film never looks particularly sharp. I can live with a slightly softer picture and, at least to me, good black level and shadow detail goes a long way in compensating for absolute sharpness.

The important thing is at the end of the day you are happy with what you bought. Since we both are, we both ended up with the best projector
