Somewhat remarkably, you have spelt "NETIQUETTE" right. Which makes me wonder why you can't spell technology? |

ARIA TECNOLGY NO GOOD
After replacing TMack with a small shell script on Wednesday 17 May 2006
22:23, the following appeared on stdout: The issue isn't "netiquette", it is your attempts at deception. *On this group honesty is a highly prized commodity so your lack of it is bound to attract a bit of attention. *If you don't like it then please take your custom elsewhere. Indeed. The whole point of this entire debacle was that we expect traders to be honest and trustworthy. If we, as a group, cannot show that we are willing to follow the same guidelines, how can we expect to criticise vendors operating without decency? Once again, (to the OP, not Tony) had you stated your problems in an honest manner and not been impatient for agreement or support, you would have been informed of the myriad ways you could have dealt with this issue regardless of any pseudonym you may have chosen to post under. Consumers have many ways to redress the balance and members of this group have much experience in most of them. Unfortunately, you lost the right to receive the benefit of that experience when you crossed the line into dishonesty. -- Chronos |

The funny thing is that I cannot recall "Dexter" (or whatever other names he has used over the years) agreeing with anyone but himself. Hence, William, Roger and Ahmed(!) are, quite probably, alter egos of Dexter. I imagine that he has posted somewhere as Dexter vowing never to use Aria again so another name (or 3) was needed when he succumbed to their low prices! Obviously never bought a Digimate TFT monitor from Aria before or he wouldn't have been surprised by a few dead pixels!! |

I now know exactly what I'm dealing with. Do have a nice life, you two. Try not to catch anything... Two? I think you might be underestimating the number of inhabitants of "Dexter's" head :-)) I think that his original incarnation was as Ron Chew so using the name "ron" as his latest alias is perhaps some form of regression. |

I do not accept that by using multiple alias I am dishonest and strongly resent your slanderous suggestion that I am dishonest, and request you retract the statement. No no no no no you have not realized that the whole object of the exorcise was to get AREA noticed for all the wrong reasons this the guy has succeeded in doing . Now regarding the use of different aliases again you just are not thinking where I to post this here four , five, six times using this alias you would think I had gone mad but using a different alias it would not stand out so much . At last someone has sussed out what I was endeavouring to do. I have never requested assistance of any kind in this NG, or in any other for that matter, and require none! As a very dis-satisfied Aria customer I simply wished to shout out from the rooftops as loud as possible what a rubbish company they were based on my own experiences with them. It probably achieved very little, yes it created a situation where dispersions in this instance were made on my own character and I accept that, but it made me feel better. Has one never had a bad experience with a company where you felt like screaming loudly afterwards. As long as the allegations are true, no offence has been committed. Yes it was childish and devious to use alias names, but was it dishonest.. NO. And AIS previously the ongoing discussion of whatever content posters submit merely serves to ensure the ARIA subject line remains on-going, a situation where Aria's reputation is possibly tarnished even more than I originally intended myself. :-)) Kind regards Bill |

Unfortunately, you lost the right to receive the benefit of that experience when you crossed the line into dishonesty. May I suggest you change that last word to 'devious' or something similar. Nope, "dishonest" seems perfectly appropriate in this instance. I do not accept that by using multiple alias I am dishonest and strongly resent your slanderous suggestion that I am dishonest, and request you retract the statement. You may want to do a little research on slander before you make an even bigger fool out of yourself. At the end of the day I suspect that your little rant has done nothing to tarnish Aria's reputation, and would go so far as to suggest that it has actually encouraged one or two people to place orders with them. If you have something to say, by all means say it, but once you stoop to making multiple posts, misrepresenting yourself as another person agreeing with those posts, and all the other little "tactics" you've used, then you lose all credibility. -- Unlock Your Phone's Potential www.uselessinfo.org.uk www.thephonelocker.co.uk www.gsm-solutions.co.uk |

Not only are you dishonest but you are obviously stupid too. Apart from the fact that you are in no position to request anything, you have no understanding of what "dishonest" means or of what "slanderous" means either. If, as I suspect, you mean "libellous" rather than "slanderous" then who exactly might have been libelled - Willaim, Bill, Roger Getteridge or Ahmadinejad???? How do you think a court might view the use of "dishonest" as a description of someone who has posed as 4 different people? SNIP! As long as the allegations are true, no offence has been committed. Yes it was childish and devious to use alias names, but was it dishonest.. NO. Yep, VERY stupid. If you tell lies, if you use deceit to try to achieve your aims - that makes you dishonest. Its as simple as that. -- Tony |

Hence, William, Roger and Ahmed(!) are, quite probably, alter egos of Dexter. I imagine that he has posted somewhere as Dexter vowing never to use Aria again so another name (or 3) was needed when he succumbed to their low prices! In this instance you are completely wrong again, Roger, and William are alias which I used, William is my normal alias as my real name is Bill. The other alias of Ahmed or whatever it was, was posted from this location by my son who it seems thought it quite funny. I have already stated this previously and expressed my regrets to the NG. What more do you want... BLOOD... :-( Dexter and I are NOT one of the same person! FACT Obviously never bought a Digimate TFT monitor from Aria before or he wouldn't have been surprised by a few dead pixels!! To clarify again! This was not a few dead pixels, on a 19" LCD most panels use 0.294mm pixels, so in effect they will be barely noticeable in the event one or more are faulty, and can be considered acceptable...surely you will agree with that. However in this instance, the monitor they delivered had bright blue permanently lit area's which were at least 1mm in size with another which was almost 2mm in size. It looked like someone was shining a bright torch through holes in the screen. Its obvious that it had clusters of adjacent faulty pixels to be this bad. I've had 2 previous monitors with bad pixels from Aria, and though not 100% happy they were tolerable. My current Hyundai L90D+ (not from Aria) fortunately has no bad pixels, its the luck of the draw. The fact that there was permanent rubbing damage to the bad area of the screen also suggested someone at Aria had attempted the old rubbing trick and had made matters possibly worse. Quite simply it should not have been shipped. What made me annoyed with Aria was the fact that on returning the monitor to them (a round trip of 116 miles) they refused to even power up a replacement unless I paid them £24-00 for their pre-check, and even had the audacity to suggest that I would likely end up with a flawed monitor unless I paid up. They dis-regarded the fact I had driven a long way to return it, I was simply trying to ensure I did not have to return a second time. So in effect.... one is very likely to have a faulty monitor from Aria unless you pay £24 for their pre-check service. IOW the buyer needs to add £24 to the total price and take account of this when comparing prices with other companies which when taken in that context makes Aria not so cheap. Their attitude to customers stinks, please don't confuse this as just a few bad pixel issues, it was not! I had a small computer business myself 30 yrs ago, by the name of Dudley Micro Services, I'm sure some of the older members of this NG would have heard of us, we used to design hardware for mainly the Acorn range, Pet, and Nascom markets, software too. I'm well used to handing out the spiel and dealing with occasional difficult customers, and also knowing what is acceptable and what is not. However companies who treat their customers in this manner deserve to go down. This particular monitor was for a cheap system for a customer, but if I thought this monitor was crap how could I possibly convince the guy who was buying it. Cheap or not. It simply was not fit for sale.... and then to demand £24 to check if their goods were faulty prior to buying was simply insulting, and then to take almost 3 weeks to make the refund, its enough to make one annoyed. I should have turned this into a book. :-)) Regards Bill |
