It was chest-puffing that caused me to build instead of buy.

Well, in an effort to find common ground here, I think we can all agree you are an expert in that.

I have no quarrel with people making a profit; I'm a die-hard capitalist. What I found in poor taste about the original rant .

When you put your heart an soul into designing and building a product (and a business around it) it is your baby. If someone copies it even if the parts they copied are not patentable it still hurts. It really feels like someone has stolen something from you. I know because Ive been there.

If they did copy his design (as in measure a Meg and make an exact copy of the parts) then I can appreciate how he would feel and can appreciate his reaction somewhat. It is lazy and cheating.
if they didnt, (and I hope they didnt) then Im sure he will be relieved and will not be concerned - afterall its not as if he needs to feel threatened by them.

I have to say when this forum started a year ago it was a good place to come and exchange ideals. I don't know about anybody else thinks but it is starting to go down hill like all the other diving forums on the internet.

Your 100% wrong, This forum gets better and better each day, this is exactly what Rebreather World is about.
Inspiring thought and discussion. Your own comments and Karls are as important to the community as each others. Who is right and who is wrong is up to the reader to decide.
I have enjoyed reading each and every post in this thread.

My apologies I got caught up in the heat of the moment. I just found the ignore button to block other users posts so I don't need to read the nonsense anymore.

Now when new members joining this community and they read your posts and see all your green blobs they think "hey this guy knows his s*^t". I think what is especially dangerous is when you have made references that you print your own C-card.

You can give red blobs too.............
