John, I though you were an intelligent and articulate individual, however I can see now exactly what you really are, you are the master of spin. From the inception of this thread you have asserted John as the central figure in this discussion.
At first I thought that Dean was in this business alone but you have made it clear that you also have a stake in this, and I would suspect that your involvement will center around future production.
John, as far a rope a dope, it is actually a Dope on a rope, and that is you!!

You think that you have everyone in your corner. You also think that the word of John is law, however, you have the worst reputation of any poster on this forum. It is really a shame that you have never understood that there is a difference between people laughing at you and people laughing with you.
John, self reflection is a must for you because you do not understand how you are preceived. John take take sometime and look at that person you see in the mirror, now if you like what you see, which I suspect is not possible, stay with your current path and continue down that long lonely road your on.
Now John you may think that you have done Dean a service by taking this thread to this level. However, the only thing you have accomplished will amount to major disservice to both Dean and his cues. Thanks to you more damage has been done than my statement could have ever caused. Now, it was not my intent to ruin anyones business, and I suspect that it was not yours either, however, you have done a very good job of doing just that. John, you have been called a communist by members of this forum, and you do not dispute it, this also is a disservice to all who you represent in this country. You actions although you may not see it will effect to those companies. This is a big forum, and you and I are really small fish in the scheme of things. However, there are many who are reading this, who have influence far beyond your's or mine. I served my country for a good portion of my life, and I consider myself Patriotic, with that being said, I for one will no longer be able to sell your products, to include items sold by Sterling. Now I am certain that you will laugh at this, and that is fine, however, as others read this I will not be the only one taking this stand against your products and any companies you are associated with.
John you can have the last word, because I am done listening to your propaganda, and your spin. You have twisted my words and my intent and I really have to laugh about that, because many of our forum members have seen through your veiled attempts. I also learned things about you that I would have never thought to be true, however, this is a great place to learn and persons true character will certainly come to the surface.
Have a nice night John and sincerly good luck to you because you are going to need luck!!!!!!!!!!!
