U got under Jared's skin? WOW
Didn't think I'd see the day.
Yep, he got me. I give up. I’m switching over to ICP-Analysis. When I order the kits I’ll let you know. Start holding your breath in 1…2…3!U got under Jared's skin? WOW
I don’t want to bet on which one is more accurate because that was never what this was about. Like Gregg said earlier, all this little experiment was about was trying to get more insight, regardless of the brand. I have no vested interested in one over the other only so far as to see which one is the best, which ones aren’t accurate, etc. I don’t have a team or horse in this race, nor did I ever claim to. You were the one that interjected your team’s opinion based off a single test Andre did to “prove” that the brand he uses is correct, which just happens to be the test kit he modeled his entire company around.
A single test.? You need to go back and read through this thread if all the evidence hasn’t been “moderated.”
only thing in this thread that has been "moderated" was a post that contained name calling towards another member and that members response back. no other posts have been moderated by the BOD in this thread...fyi
And just to be clear, that memeber wasn’t me and my response back was appropriate and was in the form of a question.
you are correct that member was not you, your response was within our rules. But since your response mentioned and was a follow up to the post i moderated out, i took your response out for clarity. I only mentioned the moderation in post #149 so that you and others know that the BOD has not modified any other posts in this thread. If something changed in a post it was done by that author.
Thank you Gregg for pointing that out. I’m really not sure how this ended up in this big discussion? Do you guys not trust me when I say that nobody uses that company?
wasn't it you that said you don't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes? see quote below.
It's not that we don't trust you, it's that ATI has ZERO to do with this experiment or this thread. It's not what this experiment was about, but you keep making it about ATI. Then to make you happy he suggests including ATI in his experiment and then you say:
you have already stated you are using ATI and that all the other suck... we get that. But that is not what this thread is about. Please try to understand that and let him run his experiment. The BOD is not sitting around trying to make up false results in order to push one test kit or another so the club can try to get rich off of test kit sales. We dont care what test kit you buy, we dont care if the ones we have now sell or not. we dont own this club or are making money off of it in anyway. These kits we got in an effort to get a discounted rate for our members. (maybe we shouldnt do that in the future and just let everyone pay full price). They are grownup enough to decided what test they want to buy or not. Those are the 2 brand kits we had at the time so he just wanted to see if they came close. I personally thought that maybe the 2 tests sent to ICP would come back completely different than each other based on some of what ive heard you say. Well it turns out it didn't and not only did they both come very close to each other, the result compared to triton where even close. ATI test kits weren't on hand for the experiment at the time (so no conspiracy here) and now, per your suggestion, he is willing to go buy some and check it out.
This is an example of being off topic.BTW, if you see that I’m not responding to every reply it’s because some have found my ignore button.
Gregg… I don’t give a hoot about ATI. I never made this thread about ATI. The only thing I kept saying from the beginning was that other company is not trustworthy and that ATI was the better analysis to go with at this current time. I also mentioned Triton as a 2nd, but did say that I got some very strange numbers recently and they also started rounding their off their numbers (which is dumb). ATI just happens to be one of the more trust worthy at this current time. Most people will agree with that including Randy. I just felt like you guys did not even acknowledge what I was saying (not one time), and have always been biased towards ICPanalysis, because you did purchase several tests and also got 300 for free. You guys did openly advertise it as a member perk and I’d honestly love to see Marsh offer a better quality test like Triton or ATI for their members. Doesn’t have to be ATI, but I do feel that is the better test, because they offer to test RO, Fluoride, NO3, ALK, Salinity, etc. If you choose to offer Triton that’s a decent choice too. Maybe then I could actually take advantage of this member perk!
That’s is not what this thread is about. I can’t be any clearer…. That is not what this thread is about. If you don’t like what the club offered as an option then join the BOD and work out a group buy with a different company. I’m telling you to stay on topic and to accept moderation.
“Let me ask you this Cody…if you have “no team or horse in this race.” Or “no vested interest in one over the other” then why in the world are you jumping through hoops and comparing data, sending more tests off again at the event, etc. It really makes no sense.”
I can’t be anymore on topic. The thread is about a comparison between ICP tests and accuracy right? Did I misread that.? Gregg, maybe you don’t like the information and data I’m posting?
