Hi John I certainly have nothing to hide from group members and therefore have no reason to email you privately. Why I joined this list is simple ..... we have considered purchasing an Amaya and what better way to find out the good and bad about a particular machine than reading what owners have to say about that machine [thread breaks, tension issues, resale value, service, reliability, maintenance, etc.]. Are you suggesting that people should only join this list after they buy an Amaya ??? I have never said that people should not consider buying an Amaya. Are there things I personally do not like about the Amaya ..... sure there are but there are also things I do like. These however are just my personal opinions and it is up to each of us to find our own likes or dislikes on any machine we may consider buying [Amaya, Toyota, ZSK, SWF, Barudan, Tajima, etc.]. Bob .
