Absolutely Sarah...

But you do it in a way that is informative, not inflammatory or degrading towards people who have bought a JetJoe instead.

Personally insulting me doesn't really give me a warm and fuzzy feeling of finally belonging to a fraternity that I have admired and respected since childhood.

And I'm a bit miffed that all this has come out of the woodwork after I bought my JJ.

From reading the JetJoe blogs here, I guess we JJ owners will have to develop some kind of secret handshake or something so that we can share our experiences without being shamed into the time-out corner.

(I'm sure someone is going to pipe in with "You'll know how they are - they'll be the ones constantly fiddling instead of flying" etc etc etc).

Despite what some people may think, I don't advocate blindly ripping off someone else’s designs. But in the Global Village that we live in today, it's inevitable not happen. Seiko did it. Honda did it. And countless others still do it. That doesn't make it right. It's just cold hard fact. And trying to palm something off as 'genuine' via swapping parts etc would have to be the really thin end of the wedge.

Moving back to my reality, I have made my purchase and have to make the most of what I've got. I'm too far down that road now, and if the comments made over the recent months are anything to go by, I wouldn't be able to sell-up in a pink fit anyway.

I'd like to thank the few genuine JetJoe enthusiasts on here who have helped my learning by sharing their experiences and kept things within the spirit of this Hobby - to learn and grow together.
