You need to stop telling these people you are sorry as it is allot of them that need to apologize to you, not the other way around. Nobody had any business judging your decision to do with your property what ever you felt like doing, period. Reminds me of a bunch of children gossiping. And the personal attacks on yourself and others because you don't absolutely love this machine is a joke. Accusations of people "not being able to afford their mortgage because of a detector purchase, living on the forum, 2 day expert", etc, etc ,etc. It's the Romper-room, Mine Lab forum for five year olds. Why are you apologizing, don't give people the power to control how you think or feel. They don't deserve that, not even the so called "experts". My guess is, if people take their old Explorer out with their new ETrac and check signals comparatively, some of them, too, are going to come to your very same conclusion; only you probably got a better price for yours then they will get for theirs because you reached that decision quicker. I just feel bad for you as it is obvious that you were treated poorly and I hate to see you say sorry to people who probably will not say sorry back to you. Go ahead and count em, I believe at this moment you are at least a big one short from the largest proprietor. The only three words in the English language that mean I am sorry is: I am Sorry. Doubt he will actually say it, though.
So I will tell you that I am sorry for the way you were thrown up in a bad light and used to heal someones bruised ego.
