Remember, I have an NDA so I tend to approach things differently than you, but I always get the job done my own way...I certainly don't have any issues with anyone else posting about the Tyros3 or any other product, unless it isn't true.
No one expects you to "troll" anywhere, but I do know that if you were
that interested in a Yamaha or Korg arranger,
you would make it your business to visit the respective forums and become aware of any issues. I also give out the link to SZ, but nearly every discussion on this site ends in a belly bumping contest, and most new visitors don't have the time to sort out who is serious and knowledgeable, and who is suffering from cranial rectal inversion.
Personally, I think Yamaha handled the whole issue quite well and very quickly...and that is worth it's weight in gold nowadays.
