Caught you! ;-)

I figured you'd be able to PM me if you needed to get in touch with me for whatever reason since I'm registered here and have also contributed to several front page discussions since DMT began.

Ah, but there's the rub - I didn't know that Pheonix was your username. Our form automatically populates the username AND email address if you're logged in, and since we never got the email address, I was assuming that you weren't a forum member. Regarding responding to you, the first time you submittted the news about L I would have responded and told you why I wasn't going to post about them. ;-) I suppose in retrospect I could have looked up the account and sent you an email saying "Hey, are you same Pheonix that contacted us about L Computers", but I have so much on my plate right now I don't have time to chase things like that down.
Anyway, this was just a good example of why it's useful for us to have an email address when people contact us. :-)

Three reasons:
1) They're products are so insanely cool they seem almost too GOOD to be true, and since they're not shipping them, it all looks like a big hoax
2) They've invented a whole bunch of new marketing-ish computer terms and have a general air of "we're better than everyone else" about them, yet ship no real products
3) People want their stuff so bad that when they can't get it, it makes them angry
