<< LOL! I hadn't used the Zondas in humid weather. I tested them over the
course of six months on and off, and yes, it is completely fair for me to say
they're great, they're crap, or they're mediocre. I said it was my opinion,
and all opinions are fair. :)

Teri. my objection was to the word crap. I have been involved for YEARS with
companies that design, manufacture, and distribute products. The effort
involved to bring a new product to the market is incredible. Maybe years of
effort and great expense in endured before the owners make any return on their
investment.

Ok...granted......Zondas don't seem to work for you. Fine, there are other
alternatives. But to condemn a PROMISING new product as crap is just heartless
and careless.

Question...How good would Vandorens be if they had no competition? I remember
the 60's and early 70's when there were no Morre's, Mitchel Luries, etc. The
only competition was Rico and LaVoz. Seems to me the quality of the Vandorens
had to go way up to remain competitive. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....wonder why they
cane out with the V12?????

Think about it....before you cavalierly dismiss someone's product as "crap"

Please excure the moralizing.
