I have been away for extended times and after reading some of the comments, I will say it is probably good I have been unable to monitor these forums. The Proteus will be made only when it meets Imeo's satisfaction. That is a simple concept that has always existed for the product line of the GG series.
Imeo is not here to get rich - If so, he would have sold some designs to the Chinese long ago. This is his passion and love and there are a good number of us here that share that same passion with him. What other designers and maker of his skill and reputation would ask openly the things he does? Somewhere in the area of NONE that I know of.
And please, before anyone says it is "just" a PV or whatever, think carefully please. Please do not take Imeo's patience as weakness nor those of us who work for him and/or follow his work making it appear that such open
personal/derogatory criticism is allowed for it is not. At the end of the day, the GG series is about the spirit of the designs and Imeo's commitment to excellence that have made the GG name what it is.
I am only an Associate but my job when well is as always, to help police these forums of
his. This forum section is as much his "home" as any 4 walls are. You can't expect to walk into another persons home and pee on the carpet and expect nothing to be said for it will be. Other than that, if anyone has divergent views of PV's in general or how Imeo conducts his business, that is your right
but... when any of us click reply, it becomes the interest of not only Imeo but those charged with keeping things on track here as well.
Other than that, it is great to be back at least partially and like the rest of you, I anxiously await when Imeo has a product he feels comfortable with putting the name GG on!
