And your attitude that I should only go to the forum if I want to build Doug's amp... I did not think it a forum dedicated to the works of one individual.

And bashing manufacturer's and allowing their trademarks to be abused under your watch and with your guidance would not ever be much of an encouragement for other manufacturer's or industry people to become involved. In fact several have told me they consider GB to be like a cesspool and just hope they are not picked as the next victim.

I thought wayne was pretty clear about use of trademarks.

Or am I being banned for asserting my trademark rights when you have allowed such to be misused?

that seems like a good playground for the rolex copy cats to play in and if rolex says anything then they are BANNED.

there is a much simpler solution Damir... which I have shared with you via email several times.

Tell Doug he can not make any reference to the trademarks or attempt to use the good will of others. That he should assign this transformer his own part number or use a Heyboer part number.

See how simple that is.

You be the judge of who was flaming who in this exchange which just took place a few hours ago.

Here is the original post in the thread;

Damir:

On Dec 4 Doug posted the following;

"...good engineering design is not defeated by publishing specifications when asked."

"getting a straight answer OTOH..."

so I am only asking Doug that which he has demanded of others.

So... I believe that your personal attack in unsupported and unwarranted.

at which time Damir deleted the thread except for Doug's post.

Unbelievable. I'm banned? The mod should ban himself for flaming.
It was totally unprovoked and gratuitous.

Some folks just don't know how to handle any power... and can only abuse it.

msl

Or would there be two sets of rules?

What about another merlin amp... I don't think it is a federally registered trademark.

As Wayne pointed out... ownership of trademarks goes to he who uses it first in commerce. Both the Peerless namesake and the model number have been in continuous commericial use since 1948 or before.

read what wayne had to say about trademarks and ART policy regarding trademarks.

Not an ounce of rational discussion of the issues
at hand.

Just the impugning of character... and this from
a moderator?

So why did you take down a simple post which asks

only "what is the Cw of HTS-7457 ct choke"

forget about the millions of dollars which corrupted the
heart and soul of AA--- or any other fantasy which you
may be harboring...

just tell us... point out from the published rules which
secific rule the post above allegedy was in contravention
of...

thank-you... let's try to stay on topic, please.
