An open question to the Respect crew: I was unloading some computers at a jobsite and when I opened the van two new Pentium 4's fell out and the cases broke.

My question, did I respect the computers by letting them fall, or was it the ground and gravity that respected the computers? After feeling like a jackass for a second I picked them up and told my co-worker that something had just either recieved or dished out respect and he just looked at me like I was smoking something. Could I get a ruling please?

I'm going with Chico on this one...if you respected the computers, you'd have to pay for them...if the ground...sue the property owners for negligence in not cushioning the ground, or at least putting up signs warning of the dangers of dropping things on said ground. After you win the lawsuit, you'll be rich and can respect all the computers you like, but for now, it was the ground.

umm, tell me if you see the point in posting pictures and going into all this detail about what broke, why, and how. All it creates is bad publicity :stosh: . If i just send the pictures in to them, and eventually send the fork it will help refine the design futher and think of it as R&D. Posting crap would create speculation and rumors which is what is making things in this industry hard.

did i say what specific fork it was, did i say exactly what i was doing at the jumps, did i say anything besides a statement to add to the Respect page, no. for all you know it could have been a magnesium prototype fork on a road bike that i decided to jump.

At first I thought, why not post the pictures, VV is just covering up for his sponsor. However, this makes much more sense to me. VV is my IDOL. :thumb:
