Yeah, but at the same time, I would also accept that someone who has been diving for 42 years, has a pretty good handle on what works for him. Perhaps it's not how you intended it, but your comment comes across to me as disparaging and condescending - not exactly a good impression to give of your company.
I respect that you believe in your product and wish to promote it, but your posts sound more to me like putting down those who don't use your product, rather than extolling the benefits and features of the product itself. You won't win my agreement by implying that I'm stupid or old-fashioned for not using your product. You'll impress me by respecting my choices, while encouraging me to consider the features of your product.
By the way, I work for a DOD contractor, large enough to buy your company ten times over without batting an eye. I've spent thirty years working on DOD contracts, and can say from real experience that contract choices are not always made on the merits of the product itself (*cough* Ford Aerospace Sgt. York *cough*). Government contracts are lucrative, but the real importance is in how well made the product itself is.
