*We live within 250 miles of the factory. Someday, I will get to see it and
take the tour. As for who does and does not monitor the reflector? I have
had off list replies to my questions from Paul Clinton on several
occasions. An Email to them is most times answered by the next day at the
latest. A phone call to the Service Dept. will get you a Tech. but most
times the Service Manager, Paul. Why should I or anyone care if, the
company owners are active on the list? It is called Delegation of
Authority. I am quite sure that the Engineers or Service manager are much
better choices than the Owner. Any Salesman who is worth his salt should
know his products backwards sideways and front to back. That seems to be
the case here. And if, I ever get to visit the factory and my YL says " Why
don't you go ahead and buy it ! "  It is a given fact that she would have
to drive home. With me in the passenger seat and my new gear in my lap
!!!!! Hugging it all the way home. No back seat of trunk for my new Ten
Tec...........*
