[DMCForum] Re: DPNW door actuators... attn: Toby?

Howdy!  Well ... how do I put this without sounding like somebody 
named Bob?  In regards to the various Wings-A-Loft systems, the 
major challenge has always been to properly integrate available 
hardware with the existing car systems and structure.  In general 
terms, the hardware is no problem, but figuring out exactly how to 
make it work as intended in the DeLorean creates the value that is 
added to the hardware.  This would be called "intellectual property" 
if I was in the legal profession.  We put a prominent watermark on 
every page of the instructions that are included with each "kit" to 
stake our claim on that intellectual property.  If the detailed 
instructions were to be posted into the public domain, we would have 
lost the value of that intellectual property forever.  While we try 
to give the DeLorean community the very best value we can in terms 
of overall price for the systems or components purchased (which many 
people have commented favorably on), we aren't inclined to give away 
the value that we have worked hard to develop.  I hope this doesn't 
sound too snarky.

What I can do is post a general workstatement for what is required 
to install each system, without getting into the nitty-gritty of 
which wire goes where.  Would that serve the purpose of giving 
people an idea of the scope of the installations?  If so, I will be 
happy to do that ... tomorrow.  It's midnight now.  Thank you for 
your understanding.  Please let me know if this has offended anybody 
or otherwise caused a commotion.  It certainly wasn't my intent.  
Just to clear up any confusion, and to prevent future challenges, we 
will be adding a specific copyright statement to the instruction 
sheets, which is something that we should have done at the outset.  
G'night.
