I apologize Ron, but yes, I want to minimize the complexity. I was taught to compromise on "business issues" by the best, my employers, because there are so many other things in life that much more important. I don't know who's right and who's wrong, it's probably a little of both, but winning doesn't necessarily have to be the final answer here. There's always time. I'm probably the only one who feels this way, but that's how I feel.

The course can be reversed, everyone just has to try. Also, the business issues don't seem so complex to me when you contrast against unraveling of Enron or the current "derivative" mess in the sub-prime market. Those are complicated legal entanglements.

Listen, I've easily solved relationship issues that were much bigger than this... in business among companies that were also much bigger than this...and in a shorter amount of time, too.

You are reading here "iceberg data"...only 10% is showing.

A lot of invisible things need to be addressed too.
It is not all as it appears... it's not about the buck a year...and it's not about a snake logo.

The least of which is egos.

Yes, Ron, exactly my point. I know that you know more than me and as the moderator you were chosen for the job because you have expertise, but I'll disagree with you. It can be solved. It's not war, poverty or hunger.

Amy, refer back to my post # 91 on this Thread regarding LOG, Lotus Owners Group.

To me, there is an atmosphere of mutual understanding , respect and trust which has allowed the hobbyist , replica manufacturers, independent clubs, etc to co-exist on an equal basis with Lotus & Caterham. The quote by R & T Editor Peter Egan is very relevant :

"No snobbery here, with Lotuses, the cult of physics and concept is at least as powerful as that of the number plate"

In the end , the legend and respect for Colin Chapman has been strengthened.

For the mutual benefit of all parties, sure would be nice to duplicate the same approach.
