The truth occasionally comes out, but seeing as it is surrounded by 1/2 truths, errors and downright lies, it becomes pretty much impossible to spot.

Don't be such a condescending prick- you know nothing of motives and rationale for any one person's line of enquiry on this forum. For what it's worth, knowing whether one can expect to receive a botch job the other end of an international order is of quite pertinent importance to some people who read this forum- myself included, as I might well be in the market for two of these boats next summer from RS Velereos.

D-Zero owners? Only Null has posted in this thread recently who is a real life Zero owner.

In some ways I agree with the stance if the joint is split (as shown in the original video apparently, I have not seen it) then this is a structural issue and I would not be happy buying a 'new' boat that has has such a repair. If the damage was just cosmetic then really there is not such an issue.

Oh and definitely no feelings of inadequacy here I can assure you, I am definitely happy with the boat I have purchased.

Very true, which is why forums and social media has provided such a useful tool for consumer rights. It provides a platform for discussion, enabling people to challenge revisionism, spin and hyperbolic pre-sale claims.

If this had been a 'spoil war' the like of which we used to see on the kite forums and I was running RS, by now I'd have had so much footage up there of 'staged' incidents of D Zero's going down the mine, graunching the little wobbly bit off the bottom and a whole host of other 'accidents'. That's the sort of response a prolonged and targeted attack precipitates, stuff escalates, I'm surprised 'they' have been so mellow about it all. Leaving a few of their dedicated supporters to do their best in the face of the onslaught and onslaught it has most definitely been and I'm not targeting 'Null' in this or Turn turtle particularly there have been loads of little piranha style 'nibbles' all chipping away. If the handicap hadn't already turned me off, what has been going on here and on Facebook is beyond boredom, beyond the normal class protectionism from the yardstick brigade, and don't even say irony, its just damned green eyed malice, not at all nice.

And the stupidity of it all, neither of them can supply the demand. Instead of seizing the moment joining forces and broadening a new market for light modern Una rigs and demo and eventing together, the one side is just determined to bitch about the other - so pathetic so very pathetic.

I am sure at least one of the manufacturers would dispute that claim.

Its one of the little oddities of the strange world of the netizen that often the most bigoted and aggressive supporters of product A and detractors of product B don't actually own either of them.

See almost any forum for any other sport as well....imagine how Orange mountain bikes must feel.  

But we won't let the theory behind what a consumer led forum is meant to be about get in the way of ranting!
