Recommend the *FREE* sleepHQ, do your part to cut down on revenues to assholes ;)
nope, not even that.

i won't actively try to dissuade folk from using it. neither will i recommend it.

there will be enough kerfuffle over it going forward without me chiming in one way or the other.
Yeah, I'm just going to continue recommending Oscar, the people behind it are honorable, and not just out to make a buck off of apnea sufferers.

Well said.
And let's also add a word of thanks to the honorable people who created this free forum, which is sponsored by www.cpap.com who sell cpap equipment to apnea sufferers and who let us discuss anything and everything including their competitors. No editorial meddling, no closing threads because they may have an impact of their revenue.
All of us who have been helped by advice on this forum also owe a debt of gratitude the people who made this free forum exist.

Please don't sell yourself short, sir. The influence you have had on forum tone is particularly substantial, in my opinion.

there are those that would say otherwise. :wink:
We all have to treat Palerider differently now that he's famous, though. I sure hope he doesn't get all full of himself, or anything.

does this mean we have to get better pr for pr?
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

I'm pretty sure I've been infamous for years, nothing new here.

Perish the thought.

Just because I seem to have really hurt the delicate feelings of some loser on youtube doesn't mean anything in the overall scheme of things.

I just have to thank creepy uncle wacko for definitively proving my point. :roll:

Because we've definitely entered the twilight zone with Wanderlusty Uncle Nicko trying to get at CPAPtalk and Brother Palerider . . .

Not appropriate.

Just sayin'.

I will no longer be giving SleepHQ-associated matters any benefit of the doubt, myself.

Hey, just me.
A little dig at the end, too.

Interesting post today about how supplies discounts negotiated through vendors will offset subscription costs to SleepHQ. If you use a Bleep anyway. Potentially F&P.

Have to see what the actual number is (is it comparing to retail?) and if the Goodmans choose to match.

I think just one comment would have done it. Otherwise it looks like you're overreacting.
And then there's overreacting...

reckon i'll cut out that sleephq recommendation.
BUT, many of the chart-whisperers here find some aspects of SleepHQ easier to use in helping. And some newbies find it easier. So I can see completely separating views about the tool from views about the, uh, . . . well, personality fronting
So….separating the tool from the tool?

amiright?
