    im sorry

    I am here to apologize about the superbolt story. I read many many posts of peoples bolts breaking so I decided to add to the hype and make a story that I was hit with a bolt. I just got off the phone with Tom for the second time and decided I should admit it before anything seriouse happened. I am sorry and I hope I can do something to help the problem. I want to apologize to AGD and the people who went along with the story. Dont try to contact me, for I will not be able to answer for a long time because I am grounded for probably a long time and may have other punishments. Im sorry it got out of hand.

        Glad you were honest.
        At least you didn't take it any further and worry us all.
        It doesn't take a big man to make up a lie, but it does take one to admit to it. Especially on this scale.

          The reprecussions from this "joke" could be felt for a long time. It sounds like alot of people have been running around on New Years Day on a wild goose chase, and I bet there will be some resentment about that.

          Could someone at AGD clarify things now. Is there a recall or not?

          Thanks

                  No hard feelings man. At least you came forward with it, and thats more than a lot of people would have done.

                    I'm sorry, but this "No Hard Feellings stuff" kinda doesn't make sense to me. Forgive and Forget is a great way to live, but before we all have a group hug lets look at what has happened here.

                    Tom has been forced to glue himself to this forum for information, updates and damage control over New Years Eve and New Years Day. Imagine how that is going to feel? It's my perception that he takes his company very seriously - and personally. If I was in the same situation I would right now be VERY angry. I would probably have spent a sleepless night worrying about how to get word out to people, fearing that someone might get badly hurt, and worrying about the possibilities of lawsuites.

                    Yes, I agree that we should move on, but let's pause for thought first. Serious things happen when people play around with the truth. It sounds like ON NEW YEARS DAY the AGD staff have been trying to track this stuff down. Stores have been calling customers, and I bet some serious work has been going on to try to reproduce the problem.

                    That just plain sucks, and I hate the fact that Tom has had to go through it. It also isn't clear to me if this "honesty" is the result of a sudden desire to tell the truth, or the result of panic as things heat up and the deception starts to unravel.

                    So, Sorry for the rant. This isn't meant to be a flame in any way. I think that understanding the implications of things like this is important.

                    Keith.

                      I'm in perfect agreement with you. This is a terrible thing that has happened and I think most of us feel bad about it. This is about the last thing AGD needs. Just keep supporting AGD and hopefully things will wash out quickly... what else can we do...

                        No flame, but I dont think that was cool at all. You probally cost AGD a lot of time and money doing that. For spreading rumors that could cause serious damage to a company's reputation I think you should be banned if you arent already. I mean, Donggie was banned for spamming by mistake but this is far more serious.

                              I'm sure a lot of damage was caused by this, and I'd hate to imagine what could have happened if this wasn't confessed to as early as it was...
