[Ron Lindeboom] “so sang Dionne Warwick, anyway. “
I took a photo of Dionne Warwick last Saturday night on the red carpet at Muhammed Ali’s Fight Night in Phoenix. She looks the same as she did 20 years ago.

[tommy d’angelo] “When we end a relationship with a client, all tapes including masters and field are given back to them.”
That is absolutely the best policy and should be practiced by everyone in this industry. In fact just yesterday I found some tapes belonging to a client we have not done any work for in about 2 years. We immediately shipped them to the client as I have no use for them here and they paid for the work and the tape stock.
The client pays for the work and the media stock, they deserve the raw footage. AND the respect of the production company to respect their confidentiality.

[Bob Cole] “I’m sorry about one thing in this thread: a remark by our Esteemed Leader. I admire Ron tremendously for what he has accomplished with the COW, and for his morals and ethics. And I agree with the substance of his ideas in this thread; but I was disappointed by what I saw as overly personal remarks in one of his posts. Ron owns the store, and if people start getting attacked in this way by the “proprietor,” it is bound to have a chilling effect on the whole scene.”
Bob,
Sorry to disappoint you. But I make no claims to sainthood and I do not claim to be anything more than a highly overworked, very burned out and sick individual whose patience grows thin from time to time. If you can’t handle the humanity, then I would say that you need to find another site where only saints abound.
Sorry if this seems rude but I have been very sick since last December and I am so far behind on my job and stressed — besides, I don’t pretend to have the patience of Jesus Christ. I also do not suffer those that I believe are making foolish points and comments that in any way support what some hyenas with a studio did to a client.
Best regards,

Hi Ron,
When I said “esteemed leader,” I meant it. I am a big admirer of what you’ve done with the COW. In my travels around the country I’ve told dozens of video folks about how much I’ve learned from and enjoyed your forum. I even called a company whose products were mentioned to urge them to advertise (and he has, but he was going to anyway).
There is nothing as bad as feeling sick, and I hope you feel better soon.
Best,

I have no hard feelings, Bob. And I do appreciate your lobbying on behalf of the COW.
If you have learned anything about me in the years that we have been doing this, I am outspoken, stubborn, driven and will never leave you guessing where I stand on an issue. Good traits — but not in *every* situation. 😉
Thanks for your well wishes. They are appreciated.
Best regards,

Wow, we get 750,000 visitors a month now and have over 107,000 fully registered members that post so it is a L-O-N-G stretch for you to imagine that in a month we might actually get TWO whole occasions to raise the intensity above a whisper — or give out a reaction aside from a pat on the back???
Lastly, Scott Lissard admitted that his remarks on the Windows On Mac article were “harsh.” They were. He also jumped to conclusions and his remarks were ill-informed at best. If you liked him and approved of his comments, then I will say that it may be a case wherein birds of a feather…
There, that’s three now. (Where’s Bob Zelin when you really need him?)

[Steve Wargo] “Ron, I am steaming over this one. The actions of this vindictive pair could hurt all of us.”
I couldn’t agree with you more, Steve. The backlash from this is going to be with us for years.
The best defense is a good offense, as they say. In that, I think that those here who have outlined their policy of “it all belongs to the client and they can have it all if they go” is the only real pitch that is going to hold water in the days ahead.
Trying to hold to any other policy in a negotiation with a new corporate client is going to foul the air like a fart at a wedding.

[Ron Lindeboom] “If you can’t handle the humanity, then I would say that you need to find another site where only saints abound.”
I love this about the Cow. I try very hard to treat everyone with kindness and respect, but being human I fall short on a regular basis. The Cow is one place I can be imperfect and not be judged for it. Although I’ve only been around a couple of months, I feel at home here. It’s the first place I go to when I hit the studio, and the last place I check before calling it a day. That being said, I always weigh the pros and cons of posting something contraversial. More than once I have been contacted by someone I didn’t know who read a post of mine on here. You never know who’s watching.
PS. Didn’t know you were sick Ron. I sincerely hope and pray you feel better soon.

That would be the Discrete Forum. No need to go elsewhere.
