I wonder why the "RepRap Foundation" hasn't taken the time to move for some sort of oversight in terms of best industry practices to regulate products under the reprap umbrella. Could it be that Adrian Bowyer is more concerned with his fledgeling business, "RepRap Pro," to conduct even cursory oversight of people who advertise "RepRap Products" on his own website?
This whole website seems like a Wild West, with a lot of businesses looking out for themselves and nobody looking out for the end user. My question is, "What is the purpose of this website?" Is it to promote every half baked company that decides to start selling potentially harmful products to unsuspecting consumers, or is there a concerted effort underway to weed out the bad apples that could ruin 3d printing for everyone?
I understand that the founder of the project is concerned with his own concerns, and wants to make RapRap Pro as a becon of light in an otherwise potentially dangerous market. However, you can't have it both ways. If you say you want to spread 3d printing virally without cause or care, how many people must pay the ultimate price? And for what cause? Is this exact chaos what the founders of this company banked on?
