Alex is very honest about his opinions, he even put it in writing on his website:
The part that ticks people off is when the whole sentence is posted:
View the latest articles from AMP Annealing. Get tips and tricks from our R&D. Here we upload articles to provide your the best possible information on innovations in the annealing process.

For some reason there's always a salt-bather who gets bent out of shape when the AMP data is posted, someone inevitably claims AMP made up all their data to sell their machine, screaming ensues. Which leads me to:
Annealing Thread Life Cycle©
- <annealing question asked or comment made>
- Typical list of common procedures in responses
- AMP is mentioned.
-
- The torch-and-sockets guys laugh and drink moonshine.
- The AMP guys laugh and drink white wine or sip a lime and tonic to look like they're drinking. (<<< I am here )
- The Annie Fluxeon guys are sitting on the curb waiting for the Brown Truck Man to come.
- The Annealez guys laugh and fiddle with their dial.
- The guys with Bench Source machines aren't here, they're cleaning their barrel after their second shot of the day, taken 3 hours after the first shot. They have 97 wind flags set up on the 100-yard line.
- @FEENIX blocks someone
- @ButterBean accidently posts "use a faster powder" because he thought this was Page 137 of the Absolute Hammer load data thread. The guy who asked the question he was responding to couldn't read the first 136 pages of that thread for some reason so he doesn't know there's no reason to use H1000 in a 6.5CM with a 97gn AH.
- @Zen Archery has actually killed 14 pigs while I was typing this post (he already has the full-HD thermal video on YouTube if you need a break from the annealing thread - I'm serious, watch the one where he shoots the Armadillo)
- It dies down for a week or three....
- .... then someone says "just use a torch and socket", thankfully not starting their own thread to restart the cycle in full.
Y'all might as well laugh about it, no one is getting out of life alive.
