Re: [DML] Re: DMCH in latest issue of Forbes...

Yikes!  I am not sure how you got all of that out of
my comments, but...

I *DO* give DMCH credit for what they have done. Have
I ever found fault with someone making an investment
and earning a fair profit?  (Yes BOB, I said FAIR!)

My point was, I see folks here discuss DMCH (and other
vendors) as if they are some sort of saints..  You do
it below Dave with the "what if".  Stephen did not buy
the KPAC inventory for OUR BENEFIT, it was for HIS... 
and in the process owners have also gotten some
benefit.  AND I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS BAD, OR HE IS
BAD FOR MAKING A PROFIT!  (Re-read that like 10X times
if you don't get it).

More importantly, next time you go through the
concours judging manual and wonder why some of the
things are written the way they are, think about the
quote "Everything we do is geared toward selling more
parts". Then maybe you will stop telling the world
that Concours winners should be accepted as "the best
of the best".  Go ahead if you enjoy the competition,
but at least understand what you are participating in.

I apologize to my friends who asked me to stop
"picking on" the concours event..
