Just a thought. How about having a talk with someone in your vicinity about Marketing 101 and what affect discussing such things in public with one's main supplier has? Seems to me that one ought to take care with one's own house before commenting on one's neighbor's house.
Go back and read...David was clearly looking to do a one-off deal. Seems to me that you ought to suggest to Brent that he could've picked up the phone and talked to David privately about any REAL questions he might have had.
The moderators have worked overtime recently trying to keep things calm in the Shelby specific forum where folks are asking all kinds of questions about CAV, and delivery dates, etc., because we felt that an mfg. ought to be able to converse with their customers about such things without interference. In essence, Brent jumping into a Kirkham thread was no different than a "mechanic" or "a friend" jumping into a Shelby thread.
Wayne, I really think you care enough about SA to want to see it move forward with positive steps instead of constantly putting out fires because of public missteps that need not have happened. Might I suggest you have a discussion with Brent about your concerns before you analyze what is wrong with someone else's approach?
I sincerely hope the holidays are good to you, Wayne, and best wishes for the New Year.
