Why are folks here so critical of Ecowitt?
« on: August 03, 2023, 05:25:30 AM »
I am getting very frustrated by the increasing vitriol being spouted by some members here in the Ecowitt forums! I accept that people have their options but it seems to me that too many are interjecting vitriol into threads and diverting those threads from the original creators subject matter.  ](*,)

Please can everyone calm down, stick to updates in threads relevant to the topic and stick to facts. If you want to bash Ecowitt then create your own threads which can be ignored by those not interested in such often unsubstantiated opinions, or better still email Ecowitt with your opinions and then for the sake of balance publish your comments along with Ecowitt's replies.

Yes I know that's not accurate but I'm sure you know what I mean - Ecowitt threads on the relevant forum board.  :roll:

My response was half sarcasm, and half wondering why Ecowitt doesn't already have its own forum hardware section given their market share.

Yes I did realise that  ;) It may be something Ken wants to consider,although they are all Fine Offset under the covers.

I not bothered by people having these views I just wish they would keep them in a separate thread and not go off topic in other peoples threads.

This makes me  :-x
