WELCOME to the Brodak Electric Products Forum. Here's some of the reasons:
* I do all the electric stuff for Brodak. If you ask them a question and they cannot answer it, they usually send you to ME.
* I also get a lot of questions via emails & IM messages on SH. In many cases it would help to post more of these answers to a more general audience.
* Whenever I answer a question I usually try to preface my answers with a "I work for Brodak" disclaimer. I would like to be able to answer questions straight up & specifically mention Brodak products without apologizing for it!
* By this time next week Brodak will have their 12th electric conversion kit on the market. Believe me there are many more products coming. I want to be able to announce these and post lots of info & pix without dominating the "All Amped Up" forum nor cheezing off the other EXCELLENT ECL suppliers who take part in that.
Probably a few more practical & pragmatic reasons, but you get the gist...
