Gentlemen, =20

If 'CONCLUSION-JUMPING' was an Olympic Sport, many of you would now be =
GOLD MEDAL WINNERS.   Please, for the sanity of all readers of this and =
other reflectors, READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY, USE SPELL-CHECKERS, AND =
STUDY THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE...!

The word 'THERE' is NOT the same as 'THEIR'.   Many of you, as indicated =
by your callsigns, are mature adults and have used the English language =
most of your lives.   After all this time, don't you think that you =
might be able to write a decent message that could be easily understood =
by everyone who subscribes to this reflector...?

As for your comments and criticism of the manufacturer's design, prices, =
and marketing practices, I invite the so-called 'experts' among you to =
start your own business, design a product, market that product, and =
provide continuous customer service for that product, all while =
competing with other manufacturers that are large enough to engulf small =
countries!   After you have done that, THEN you will have earned the =
privilege of criticizing Ten-Tec.  (disclaimer: I AM NOT NOW, NOR HAVE I =
EVER BEEN A PRINCIPAL OR EMPLOYEE OF TEN-TEC).=20

If you want an excellent example of American know-how and ingenuity, =
from a company that is reminiscent of Collins, National, Hallicrafters, =
and the multitude of American amateur radio manufacturers in years gone =
by, BUY TEN-TEC...  If you want a 'Rice-Box' appliance that comes with a =
warranty and instruction manual written in six or seven different =
foreign languages, go ahead, but don't expect anything like Ten-Tec's =
customer service, or their one-on-one responses to your problems and =
concerns...

BUY AMERICAN, THE JOBS YOU SAVE WILL BE YOURS, YOUR CHILDREN'S, AND YOUR =
GRANDCHILDREN'S.   'Yankee Ingenuity' is a reality, not a sales pitch... =
 I am a supporter of American industry, and the work ethic of its fine =
crafts-persons.

Thank you for your time, your attention, and your understanding,

Larry Feldman, W1GOR=20
