Mike;
Thank you for your comments which are very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, whenever I (try to) help or add my comments on most any bb---not just this one---, I am always walking a very narrow line and must be careful "not to imply" that I am selling.
Unfortunately, many times manufacturers, dealers, etc are held to a much different standard because of board rules------AND how the moderators interpert them-----unfortunately. (and I'm not speaking about a sales pitch either). Had that problem of interpretation on the cleantalk bb. First time I have ever been deleted from any bb that I can remember (?).
Therefore, I will only approach the gate , shake your hand, but will not go through.
In terms of engineering and design, I will not (understandably ;I hope) "tell all" because what happens in the bedroom is our business and not that of our competitors who are also listening for ideas.
Unfortunately, we do have many examples of this "borrowing concepts and cloning" from several over here in the USA. And, that alone, Mike, makes one appreciate the real value of small business (manufacturing) and those real innovators that give all the Big Boys their ideas (engineering) while they are basking on the sea shores somewhere. I'll bet John Bolton understands what I have said since I am sure he has had many, many of his concepts, "cloned" without a hand shake.
We work extremely hard and have field tested items for many, many years, not to have anyone else in our business steal them overnite. Right or wrong, thats the way I see it.
Ken;
Yes, the RECOIL-3HP is scheduled to be at the show; as well as myself if I can make that happen. And, if I do, I hope to see all of you----------------at the local Pub. Heck with the show!
Good Fortune to all Brits;
