[TenTec] Re: Scott and the Orion

[W5VPU at aol.com]

Hey, guys.
       Don't we have enough to do?       
       I'm a bit surprised by a number of logical boundary-oversteps.
       One of which is the reification of the vast number of users of Ten Tec 
equipment who choose to subscribe on this reflector into a "Ten Tec 
Community." As if we have decided to become a community. I know some of you, 
most I do not. But IMHO a community is much more than a bunch of us who put 
our opinions about something outside our control as if it were within our 
control and then argue about who is right and who is wrong.
       If you don't want an Orion, cancel your order. If you don't trust the 
company, find one you do. If you want to run the company, buy it and then you 
can be in charge. If you can find a better radio, then buy it.
       But why second guess the future of Ten Tec, or GE, or Kenwood, or 
Cessna, or General Motors? What's the point? 
       The company has been keeping everyone who wants to listen up to date. 
What more do you want? Scott does not need my defense. But they truly have 
never led me down the wrong path. 
       That is really my puzzlement. What is the point in all this? And what 
difference does all this back-and-forth arguing about "what they ought to do" 
and "What they are doing wrong" and all the rest seems a bit over the top to 
me. What difference does it make? Maybe I just don't get what all is going on 
with a bunch of my "Ten Tec Community." Could someone with more understanding 
than me please explain it to me?
