There's a scare tactic bit on there about intensive screening. I'll let you all know. What's the worse that could happen.
I chose the Transducer Model C.
It seems to be their most popular transducer.

What a great idea, feed them false information in hopes of getting a pocket knife. Who cares about the company trying to benefit their real customers by gathering useful marketing data? Screw the employees who might benefit from increased sales resulting from accurate marketing data? A pocket knife is worth more than moral values anyways.
This general attitude is why this country is going into the crapper. I know, I know, the typically narrow minded will shoot back saying "it's only a pocket knife" or "if they didn't plan on this they are stupid" or "they should screen the surveys better"...all of this meaning "we are human in 2006 and therefore we will take any opportunity to benefit ourselves as long as nobody around us is negatively affected, but we will certainly bitch when the prices are raised due to higher costs." oh yeah, that's right, you guys won't buy anything from these guys anyways, so who cares?
sad.
good luck with your pocket knife.

SWEET! Thank you DJSPL. Seriously. You have presented me with a unique opportunity and have made my day. I very much appreciate your opinion, and do respect it. (and that is the only thing that will save this country from it's downward spiral, tollerance for the opinions of others) All moral and ethical repercussions to our country's future aside, I am actually glad that you stick by your own. As for the opportunity, I feel now that even if this turns out to be a dud deal due to this company's enigmatic 'screening' policy, I have the good fortune to count this post a resounding success in that I was able to provide your riteous indignation with an outlet and justification. Never let that fire go out from your eyes. Always point out and decry injustice wherever you see it. Voice on high to all that will hear that we travel the road to hell in the proverbial handbasket. Of course, when we get to hell.. i'll have a pocket knife to fend off the demons with. But don't worry, I'll have your back.
I sallute you, sir or madame. You have my deepest respects, though we may differ in opinion.

Not trying to impress anyone. If anandtech is so concerned about "hot deals" that they think this one is important, then they can deal with me. Then again, maybe Anandtech is a company trying to make money and might see my point. If "hot deals" is so important that "straight up scams" fall into the same category, then obviously I'm the one that doesn't belong here.

Dude, enough with the flame wars...this is a rather common scheme that is posted on Hot Deals....MicroSquash, et al is always giving out freebies for consumer responses. The quality is usually low, but heck its free! If you don't like the Hot Deals forum go elsewhere!

You do know the difference between "consumer" repsonse and "customer" response, right? They are not looking for the general public to fill out fake surveys for a free knife. They are trying to improve their company by looking for feedback from people that have actually bought their equipment. Do none of you work for a "for profit" company? Are you all 12?
I hope your surveys were real convincing, because Mark is looking at them a little closer now. He even offered me a free knife, which I declined.
