bpoletti,
"put out products in a truncated life cycle"
What does this mean? What does this mean to decades old customers who have no prior knowledge of products in the "pipeline"? ( Except for (brf).....)... well excuse me!
Does this "life cycle" mean within several months? Does this "life cycle" mean that their chief "senior" poster, (brf,) feels the need to "buffer" what is obviously known to him, (not to the public), by "buffer", I mean to "gently" put out the info regarding new products before their long time VPI owners will have any minute form of a specific of prior knowledge? Why doesn't VPI inform their loyal (registered) customers through email? Why is that so difficult?
How does this improve their loyal customer base?
(I'm focused on VPI, not other manufactures that I have no knowledge of)
Your response makes me want to scream.
Instead, I'll go listen to music,
Happy Listening!
