Just because I don't think Dragon should refund you your money for a pretty good model that you bought of your own free will and which is then improved? Perhaps you would prefer that it had not been improved as that would be more 'fair'?

I find it somewhat offensive that you think the only reason that I would make that post is that I have some vested interest in defending Dragon. I get no favours from Dragon and I have never even had any comms with them. If I even own shares in the company is is because Dragon is large enough to feature in the HK stockmarket and therefore appears in a fund I own.

The customer is not unprotected these days (the kit is not of unmerchantable quality, but if it were, you could complain) and there is so much information around for those who trouble to ask that the faults tend to be spotted pretty quickly. Anyone who delays purchase for a few months and then reads the feedback first would have been aware, as I was, of the issues. I chose to defer purchase until they were corrected - that was my choice. If someone else exercises a different choice that doesn't make me corrupt and it doesn't make them stupid.

Anyway, the fixes are not that difficult, so if they bother you, make them or sell it on or if they don't, just build it. Most observers will nether know or care anyway. I'm not sure how resorting to accusations of corruption helps any of us. It's only a plastic tank model!
