EDIT: The following was posted as a separate thread as an official KNS company statement, and was edited and moved into this thread by whale. I guess we have our response?
-----
There is a small town in the midwest with exactly 2 barbershops, one on each side of town. The barbershop on the west side of town is pristine. Its floors are spotless, the windows are always perfectly clear, and the air always smells fresh. The barber has a friendly smile, shined shoes, a well-groomed head of hair, and a fancy shirt. The barbershop on the east side of town is a mess. Its floors and windows are dirty, and the air smells of garbage. The barber always has a grimace on his face. His skin is oily, his hair is short and ragged, and he has food on his clothes all the time.
A man travelling through the town realizes he needs a haircut. Knowing the stories of the two barbers, the man decides to go to the dirty barbershop on the east side of town. Why does he do this?
This famous riddle made me realize I need to release NXTinspect from being bound against doing a KNS review since we are their competitor.
One of us has to extend a hand to the other and I'll do that now. First, I offer NXTinspect Editor priveledges on our wiki, so that they can help out the community by increasing the information there and helping us make sure everything is accurate. I've invited chanc3r to do this in PM, he's responded favorably, but I am sure he will need to discuss it with the rest of the NXTinspect team too.
Beyond that, I encourage NXTinspect to do a review of KNS, and to help with that I will bar KNS from ever stating or insinuating that there is a conflict of interest because they are a competitor. I will also bar KNS from any sort of response to the review except to point out if the information disagrees with previously posted, publicly available company updates appearing on our sub-forum or in our discussion thread on the Assets forum.
FWIW I believe that it's possible that we can work together in many ways, like on the wiki, or to create a "standard" set of principles to review companies, a baseline, so that customers know what they're paying for in advance. So that we can do a better job of making the NXT AE a safer place to invest.
