I have to agree with Romany that whilst the Delta peg is an excellent design, the number of threads and the amount of hype about them is excessive.

A similar situation arose a couple of years ago when all the threads appeared about Crocs, many people were so fed up that they developed an intense dislike for them.

Just let us agree that Deltas are a very good peg without starting thread after thread about them, otherwise they will become a love or hate item like Crocs.

Hi Bernie
Yes there as been a lot of threads as you say about the Delta peg ,but have you given it thought who starts these threads, new members who want to know about them,and it is more polite to answer the member personally that to stick a link in is face and say here.
Just my opinion on the way to go about it.but if members want to elaborate on the original post then the supporters and users will add their experiences in as well,
and after all I personally never felt the need as some members to discuss footwear but that was my choice I never suggested that member who did should not.
Good here is it not,now we can discuss crocs

perhaps what people really need is one delta peg to show them the proper angle to put in other types of pegs,

Delta: That is a ridiculous remark and insulting. You will have to send this super-peg that out-performs Delta in normal soil. As tested recently Delta are twice as effective as rock pegs in normal soil.

all we are really getting on here is a clever advertising campaign and an effort to brainwash people that deltas are the only peg that work

Delta: This so-called 'advertising campaign' was not dreamt up by me. It is a relection of satisfaction by other customers on this forum who are simply passing on the benefit of their experience of a great product in foul weather.

I don't believe Delta's hold any better with gusting winds pulling in different directions they only hold better when you have one direction steady pull which as we all know is not how wind and flapping canvas works

Delta: Again, ridiculous. Usually you have a prevailing wind. If the wind changes direction, the pegs on the other side take the strain. The wind doesn't bounce back and forward. BTW, talking about one direction,if the wind changed, your guy would have to rotate 125 degrees before a Delta came out the ground, that means your canvas would be in the same direction, imagine the state your tent would be in after that.

as a seasoned poster I also know how severall companies work to get their products on open forums lets face it the new president of the USA worked out that one

Delta: I can't see the connection with the president of the USA butI only introduced Delta pegs in passing back in 2003. Ian and Steve kindly let other people continue to recommend Delta. The product's popularity grew from recommendation(which I believe is the best form of advertising). There is no money involved, no back-handers, no conspiracy theory. I provide a good product with the best service I can. What I can see is a few members who feel that their famous 'pitching skills' are being compromised. It's now 2009, we've been to the moon and all I've done is add an arm to a peg that has existed for hundreds of years. Innovation helps us all.

The point of posting is surely to pass on information

Well, in truth, until you cleared up the points above, your comments had little to do with the contents of this thread, but, as you have admitted, with previous threads.
It would be nice if you referred to that fact when you made your comments so that confusion could be avoided.

Cheers

Are we there yet?

What a shame indeed.  Same old same old.  Time to close.

For future reference, just a few threads on the subject
