think on the title of this thread
where does Swiftech fit in this 'hobby' ?
they are possibly the largest single supplier and the source of most of what is around today
(you can only debate this if you have 5 years or so of involvement, a perspective on Swiftech's many product introductions)

returning to the topic, so what if they disappear ?
while there would be a considerable supply disruption, no doubt others will be pleased at the opportunity
will Stew license another company ? (ask him, not me - if curious)
will some of Swiftech's uniquely good products be copied and made by others ? (not by CoolingWorks before anyone asks)

the topic is quite legit to those looking at the 'big picture'

you bundle Gabe's dishonoring signed contracts (more than CoolingWorks, eh) and lying to employees as "personal gripes", but they are material to the thread topic
- Gabe has past customers who will never deal with him again, more than Erick's and my "personal gripes" at work wrt to Swiftech's survival
(you will see a prime example of a customer's abandonment in the near future)
- and the time of (late) filing of financial statements is universally understood in the financial community, ask your broker if my statements are deemed unreliable by you

but now the thread topic has evolved to BillA, which is fine

without question I am 'excessively blunt', and 'overly aggressive';
if the things that trigger such are considered unwarranted by the readership then I should not be posting - at least the blunt and aggressive parts
- is the milk and pap remaining of interest to me ?

Joe has spoken clearly, as have others, and there is no good reason for me to antagonize the readership here
but I will leave a cautionary note for consideration; do not forget the 'net clue factor'

2 current examples suffice:
http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...2&postcount=30 - here we have a long-term poster who does not have a clue, and no one has corrected him
http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...59&postcount=5 - here a rather well known scientific 'principle' was referenced, and no one asked how this could possibly apply given the geometries involved, no clue here either (though Ben got it) [for completeness, bypass is the concern; such will also reduce the pressure drop but increase the thermal resistance, the delayed test results suggest they are fishing for good data to post; marketing kinda stuff]

both these posters have recently been taken to task by me; and the readership has spoken, I can accept that
I've been posting for over 5 years and have always retained the ability to admit when I was wrong,
and been unrelenting when I believed I was correct (wittiness the "flawed TTV testbed" issue with Stew which I intentionally pursued wherever I found Stew posting it)

"The time has come," the Walrus said,. "To talk of many things:. Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing-wax --. Of cabbages -- and kings -- ...

to my dwindling friends here (before I've none at all), be cool
- Joe, you have my permission to edit everything I've written - except this post please ('net clue' in progress)
