Look, nice try, but don't try to claim innocence when the moderator has to step in and admit he's already received multiple complaints about your post.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... it's a duck. And if it looks like spam, smells like spam....

Personally, I would have had no problem with you, or any manufacturer saying "Hey guys - look, obviously we have a vested interest here, but we want to know how to make all of you happy. What's on your dream list? What features do you really, REALLY want to see in a bag? We can't promise to feature all of them, but we can promise to listen and give it a good effort."

THAT would have been applauded. What you've got here now looks like nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to keep people talking about your products.
Thanks Boogie,

Appreciate your feedback + advice...

if we don't achieve our primary objective of learning about peoples desires + wants in luggage (via this thread) then we sure will learn how to structure a more appealing request (ensuring the absence of perceived spam).

As a small young ambitious company we love to keep learning - so many thanks for your honest appraisal.

That said, I am not keen to start another..therefore please keep the features list coming in.

Thanks again GATE8
