If you think the people who have been posting here for years with good 
and valid information, questions, complaints, and so forth are liars 
'like the rest of humanity' then why bother posting here at all?

Again, all people that use /any/ company's products will have complaints 
from time to time.  Most of the time, the complaints are valid and 
backed up with specific information.  For example, "I had a problem with 
a soundboard made by Mackie.  Model 1604.  After a quick search on the 
internet, it turns out the problem is with a ribbon cable."

Your initial complaint had zero information, only hate.  You failed to 
specify the actual product and problem.  You never mentioned where you 
got it from, or whether it was new or used.

What did your mother say to you when you were a kid?  "If you don't have 
anything nice to say, don't say anything at all because no one wants to 
hear your negativity!" (or are you old enough to have learned that yet?) 
  Your posts are consistent with the posts of an internet troll.

Also, industry standards are in place for a reason, and usually that 
reason is experience has taught that half-ass rigs lead to accidents, 
injuries, and yes.....death.  Your use of fence pipe to hang lights from 
is THE WRONG ANSWER!  The venue that allowed you to install such a thing 
should be cited and fined and made to replace it.  I'm surprised an 
inspector hasn't already.

Please save us and yourself the time and trouble.
Do not post in stagecraft newsgroups again.
