IMHO, whatever that's worth. I think Mr Wynne is flexing the financial power only he can flex. Worst case scenario. What if the "small" vendors of "D" things decide to hang it up?? What if? Then, we wouldn't have source for anything but the merchandise DMC-H sells. What ever happened to Mr. Zilla and all his fans. Is it eight months since boo has been heard. What if the small vendors couldn't say squat about the products they have fitting a "D"?? Just a mention this thing fits a Delorean would bring a legal reprimand? Vendors would have to sell things to fit, that stainless steel car made near Belfast, Ireland without a mention of Delorean. What might Houston charge if they have carte-blanche complete control of anything that fits? And we'd be the Stainless-steel car made in Belfast, Ireland Car Clubs? --- mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Tom - no need to take it personally. This is just > business.
