Why would he want to “play dirty” and I wasn’t defending him. You may read into what anyone says any way you want. But please don’t tell me what or how I should respond to a reviewer.
Oh, I know that to be 100% in agreement with. See, I saw a option to buy in to a place in the queue, read the ads, and went for it. I believed the ads - my fault.
If it worked it would be my first cell phone. Smart (phone) is just a gimmicky buzzword by marketeers. They aren’t even clever. Odky enough, when I say my first, people seem to think that I don’t know computers. Meh - I am just one of those “average overall consumer.” 
BTW - I have seen positive reviews of the L5 plus the one at being number one again.
I know. Bad reviews don’t help unless the product with a bad review causes the company to work at fixing the negatives.
Years ago, before the 'net when people would type(writer) or pen to paper a complaint to the feds, it was seen by feds as the opinion of 10k people, because only 1 in 10k would bother to do so. 
Thanks for the feedback lck. I do appreciate it.
