Mr. Glesser, Fuller, and 4 s ter, and All,
Mr. Glesser, your case for presenting your ideas publically on the Forums is well made, and I appreciate your clarification of your goals and intent. Sincerely, thank you.
I think that I may have been biased in my thinking of this aspect of the issue based upon my friendship with Neil, and to that end, I apologize. Your reasoning for engaging in public debate has been validated in my mind.
Returned admiration is also due for your loyalty and dedication to your employees. However, I still steadfastly disagree with your assessment of their prowess given the extent of the breach at-hand, but if alone for your having stood behind them and still standing behind them now, as someone engaged in training which will one day land myself, hopefully, in a position of leadership, I hope that I will see you at Blade this summer, and will be able to shake your hand (not that this is the only reason, for, as I cited previously, I truly am a fan of many of your works, and this will be my first chance to thank you for them).

FullerH and 4 s ter - Points well taken on the modifications and their scales of impact. And yep, 4 s ter, there's a story, but its' a long and boring one.
-----
All - as for other points? My main concern remains.
We definitely are airing our worries and our concerns here, and that, now that I understand better Mr. Glesser's view, definitely I can see the validity in doing so.
However, I still believe that it truly has come time to settle this in a big-boy way, and that as fellow enthusiasts, we laymen should not let this affect our friendships and our dedication towards each other as knife enthusiasts.
