Boudy,
If our opinions don't count, then why put this topic in an open forum? Apparently they do count for something as the opening comments said that "it seems that 60% are in favor..." I take that to mean 60% of the repondants favor it; not 60% of the manufacturers - but I could be wrong.
(Also thought that without customers, it's awful tough to make money as a manufacturer or sales agent, and I thought the point of the challange was to attract potential customers)
If you want the discussion to be private among the manufacturers - take it private, then post the particulars when/if anything gets decided.
But then again, I guess that I am one of the "idiots" - and proud to be in their company.
Sorry, rough day at work
