I didn't mean any offense to you or anyone who purchases one. I just said if Denise was a DIY person she could save money since she was looking to save $20 between the two. I know not everyone is a DIYer or even have the time to be.


What I do have an issue with and I guess it comes through in my post is that the Lumodi is based on a tutorial that someone else came up with and put out there for free and now this guy is making money off it. I know that happens all the time and all the ones that I know about irk me too.


Sorry Sean, didn't mean any offense.


Did I ever mention I was jerk?(probably didn't need to)

I know you didn't mean any offense. AndI'm sure you're right, Brandon took someone else's idea, refined it, and started selling it. It's like changingthe oil in my car--there are a hundred tutorials online showing you how to do it yourself for free--but I'd rather go down to Pennzoil and have them change itfor a fee(because it's easier and more convenient). How is that any different?


I've also read forums where he postedtipsfor DIYers to help them in their endeavor to make their own dish. He felt it was good business to help those who were hell-bent on doing it themselves. He knows that if someone puts as much time and effort into their own dish as he put into the Lumodi's design, they'd likely realize his product was worth the price. And for those who became frustrated at the time and effortinvolved indoing it themselves, he provided a custom made-to-order option.
