Brian,
You're making a few assumptions here. First of all, I didn't
sign any NDA. Secondly, one of my questions, for example, was what the
qualities of the IR filter are. Not exactly an industrial secret...
The answer was roaring silence. If they had send me a single email
that said "I'm sorry, but we can't/won't give you that information," it
would have been better than NOTHING. I don't think they even read their
email.
