@guys:

If you look at my more recent postings you will see that I had actually researched it further than just the web-stuff after it was COPIED to Amiga.org.  I had went to the trouble of investigating third parties who went through the trouble.

I will tell you this now, concerning what I learned then, a verification like this CAN be importan, BUT does not mean much BY ITSELF.  In other words, if the corner is turned and this little verification is FOLLOWED UP BY ACTION, then it is an important step in a process.  If it is obtained just for the sake of having it and nothing more, then it can mean very little.

In other words, this is a flag to watch for things to come, and not an end unto itself.  I learned that PRIOR to Genesi's involvement in this.  I *did* report that.

Yes, I did think it was a scam when I first wrote the article.  Then, I learned about it being a step in a process, and not one that is necissarily visible.  I made the changes to the original article month and months ago.  Again, I reiterate--if no followup action is taken to the "verification" then it *still* doesn't mean very much.  If, however, further actions *are* taken it can mean something.

As I said on ANN, this isn't an end, but a checkpoint.  The same thing *still* holds true for Mai too.
Regards,
Targhan

1. I will not apologise.

2. Mai made a huge deal out of it, and we never heard of them taking the next step.  If they do, then it isn't just a stupid sticker anymore, now is it?

3. The same holds true for Genesi.  If no further action is taken, and they sit on it--It's just a silly sticker.  AND, I will consider it a silly sham just like 65% (or more) of the other little stickers you see on every box at CompUSA.

4. I fully expect Genesi to make a big todo over it.  I just hope that the dog and pony show is followed up by something with substance.  I expect they will, but I have nothing to do with that aspect of it.

(translation: I still think it's silly until Genesi or Mai do something *with* the verification.)
