Thomas, I have a hard time with your following statement.. Begin Quote: "We decided not to talk about our other products until they are ready to be sold, and I...
Dear Mark: I can tell you that Herb only made the very tardy offer a long, long time after having set up a Burgess Group, having allowed many of Bill and...

So? Now that TMB could post, the arguement is no longer valid. Either accept the freebie offer (which no one else seems to get) or stop citing it as an issue....
Dear Tom: First of all, I did not raise this as an "issue." Second, as Tom Davis accurately pointed out, Herb's "offer" was for a limited time to be determined...
That's just silly. Remove the group because the manufacturer can't defend himself? Jeesh, I thought Astromart forums were for us customers. You seem to do a...
Dear Tom: You are certainly partially correct. The Astromart Forums ARE supposedly for the customers. Therefore it would seem quite fair to have the...
