After being away from the forums for a while I was looking forward to catching up on the latest products and such. Sadly I could not resist checking this thread out only to discover what looks to be a clone of the last debate around MA's latest product release.
For me the most disappointing things about this thread is that Austin no longer seems genuinely interested in addressing customers concerns with his product. The response given to BrianG's example of a specific and documented problem with MA product was appalling and more like something I would expect from Jason... I believe I have lost any respect that I had for Austin previously.
As for 3rd party testing of any of MA products I would not hold my breath. If I recall correctly the last time someone did that (with prior consent mind you) they were threatened with legal action if the posted test results were not removed.
Austin I'm certain that nobody enjoys having their company/product/person put down or portrayed in a negative manner, who would?
But if you are going to ask for specific examples of problems your customers may have had with your product in a public forum have the decency to acknowledge the ones that reply with valid documented concerns. If you are no longer willing to do so that is ok too. Just don't come around asking questions you don't want answered.
I do get a kick out of the advertising claims of the "best this" or "most powerful that". Very amusing stuff...
I felt the same after I read the thread. Haven't bothered to follow the MA story here lately, just came back to research some batt stuff, read this thread, and felt exactly the same as you.

Good thing my 2 3S 3000mAh MA packs didn't burst into flames. If anyone saw the pics I posted, they would see the packs were very close. I'll see where I put them and post them here again.
