Kevin,

How many times have we talked, here and on the phone? My name is not 'Sean', it's 'Shaun.' Can I at least get that courtesy from you? Everything I do is 'veiled' to you. There was nothing veiled about it. I wrote in my post that I had heard (through asking) several different answers. I wanted to know which one was accurate. Why did I want to know? That's MY business. Why nobody wanted to say? That's the biggest curiousity of 2003 to me.

Ghost Rider,

How do you say that I was not satisfied? Did I pose the question again after having received those PMs and emails? No. So, what do you mean?

Chris Huhn,

What the sam-hell are you talking about??? What did I 'make up?' Maybe you don't feel there's a 'right to know', and, frankly, I could give a squirt, but I didn't manufacture the curiousity about it. Maybe I was the first to ask about it, but I didn't create the cloud of secrecy, or this ignoramous attitude that it's a crime to ask the question. Give me a friggin' break--you know if we were talking about anything other than this particular manufacture of airplane, you wouldn't be trying to school anyone on the meaning of 'proprietary.' You also know that if I was asking about the place of origin of anyone's else kit, you wouldn't show up with this sanctimonious garbage about the defense of proprietary information.


Get it straight, guys: I came in here and asked a question because I did not have a definite answer. Instead of an answer from the many, many people who know the accurate truth, I only got these bafflingly moronic insinuations of malfeasance and questions as to why I'm asking. Then I have people come in here and tell me I'm 'creating' a curiousity?? I DO NOT have a problem with BV or anyone else making their kits overseas. Obviously, it seems to be something to hide to many. I'll never understand that, but whatever. Here's the deal, though--If I want to know the skinny on any issue relating to this hobby, I will come in here and ask if I damn well please. If my question offends you, well you'll just have to BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT. It is utterly STUPID to suggest that the question was meant to do anything other than DIVINE AN ANSWER! If you don't believe that, well, that's your choice. If you want to take issue with that, or anything else, my phone number is on my signature.
