Sorry, but that's all a bit complex for me Alex.
I just believe in free exchange of information about a pastime all
people in this group are interested in, for the betterment of all.

Don,
If yours was a private letter to PB&F I would have no quarrel
with it. Although waiting until PF&B had sufficient time to
address the more immediate needs of MJ owners would not have
been too much to ask.
However, publishing it in the most concentrated group of PB&F
current and future clients, makes it a different matter.
I am sure you would understand should anyone do the same to
you in the presence of your current and future clients.
The particular points in your last couple posts I objected
to were:
You appeared to be:
Mentoring PB&F on proper behavior with you as the model;
educate and reassure clients, and, as a result, PB&F reputation
could be damaged;
litigation, and, finally:
sincerely concerned with freedom of speech. If that's the case,
please accept my deepest apologies.
Again, if yours was a private letter I would not have taken
an issue with it, althought waiting for a while to allow the
designer time to assess & respond to the situation instead of
pushing a panic button would be more appropriate. Something
that we often ignore in our quest for instant satisfaction.

sincerely concerned with freedom of speech. If that's the case,
please accept my deepest apologies.
Again, if yours was a private letter I would not have taken
an issue with it, althought waiting for a while to allow the
designer time to assess & respond to the situation instead of
pushing a panic button would be more appropriate. Something
