RE: A message from Wendell at Magnepan

"I wonder if we count all the people who own Maggies that post here and compare it to the total number of people who own Maggies what percentage are we. it may be we are such a small percentage of Maggie owners that we are greatly overstating our importance. Just a thought"

I would think that your assessment is correct. However, our self-perceived importance and weight on the subject is that we, the life long fans, tend to be on a constant upgrade treadmill, while most regular Maggies customers are pretty much once-in-a-life buyers. They buy their MMGs or their 1.6s etc., and then they just live with these, without ever feeling the itch to upgrade to higher models.

Me, I won't rest until I get me a pair of 20.1s!

And also, we (the inmates) tend to proselytize a lot about Magnepan; we are their foot soldiers, spreading the word, talking our friends and family, even complete strangers we meet on the train, into buying Maggies. We're doing incredible PR for the company. Not only do we not expect to be compensated for doing the guerilla, grass roots marketing for them, we're actually paying dearly out of our own pockets for the privilege to do so!

No wonder many of us have developed this atrophied sense of entitlement.
