He's upset about not getting a free light without putting in a bit of work
@Boarderguy, perhaps you should keep your ludicrous assumptions to yourself.
Since there seems to a complete and utter lack of reading comprehension on this thread, lets recap.
1.
@OrcaTorch-Amazon Seller asks for testers of the lights.
2.
@tjjohnson36 asks what's the catch.
3.
@Boarderguy responds there is no catch.
4. I reply there is a catch, they want you to have a facebook link. I get that there are many people on facebook. I get that many people don't have a problem with facebook. I am not on facebook, and yes I have a major problem with facebook. Therefore, from my admittedly subjective point of view, needing a facebook link is a "CATCH".
4.
@Boarderguy responds, having the facebook link is something new, he was never asked for one to be a tester, so again from his subjective point there is no catch. To which I responded with a thumbs up, because hey, his experience was different than mine, and that was good information for
@tjjohnson36 .
At this point in the thread I could of moved on to better things, but no, OP had to make insinuations.
5.
@grantctobin (who does have a red banner) posts asking why doesn't the OP become a business supporter of scubaboard. A position I can empathize with since, I have a red banner as well.
6.
@Eric802 posted his good experience. Good for him, no sarcasm or facetiousness intended.
7. OP posts that only a facebook link is not a requirement, gmail is fine. This in order to contradict my statement that OP wants a facebook link. Basically implying that I lied, so sorry, I am not standing still for that.
8. I post a copy of a direct message from the OP specifically asking for a gmail
AND facebook link, documenting the FACT that a facebook link was required.
9.
@Boarderguy decides he is an expert on my state of mind.
10. I am upset because in IMHO the OP is a liar, takes advantage of this site, and is clearing lying. I am upset because somehow
@Boarderguy thinks he knows anything about me from 3 sentences in a post on scubaboard, and wants to find fault with me, by making a personal attack on my work ethic.
I have a lot of underwater lights. Probably all of them are manufactured in China. One more light does not make a difference. I was somewhat interested to compare the OrcaTorch, because they tend to run at a 20%-40% discount of Kraken, Bigblue, and Sherwood lights I use. I am always suspicious of products that cost less than other comparable products. So yeah if I could get one for free to test that would be great, then in the future when making a purchase, I would know to stick with the more expensive lights, or go with the less expensive substitute.
The work required would be writing a review. I have no problem writing a review, or writing in general. Sure my review (good or bad) would be far more informative than anything offered by ......
@Eric802, LOL, your timing is off, you should have let me post this first. I don't drink coffee anymore, but I am a big fan of Celsius and Aspire.
