OK, I gotta put my 3 cents worth in here.

first about Curt's observations (and thanks for that Curt).  It would be 
nice to see more participation here but I am not surprised it isn't more 
active.  Most people would rather watch from afar (my Youtuybe channel is 
the same way) and I understand that.  I have, in the past, gone years 
without saying anything (but still watched) and now I'm sure some wish for 
the good ole days :>)  I just enjoy being here when I can contribute I 
will.  That's all I expect from anyone.

Second, as to the original question by Bill (it's you fault I am even 
talking here Bill :>), I also believe the timing of that video is more than 
a coincidence.  Also I have to say that video is a good presentation, not 
salesmanship.  There is a difference between acting and selling.  I  would 
say that a true salesman can sell a freezer to an eskimo in the dead of 
winter.  Which brings me to a point I have heard here that I disagree 
with.  the original LOM (before CNC) is a good product and it still can 
stand on its own merits in the business world.  I keep hearing that the LOM 
was a losing product line and that is why they switched to CNC.   Building 
market share is only one aspect of successful business.   Engineering 
flaws, bad manufacturing methods, or/and poor customer service can bring a 
good company (or idea) to its knees.  I would say that the Edsel is a 
classic example of that.  I still believe there is a market for manual LOMs 
as well as CNC.  

thanks again Bill for bringing this up.
