That looks like a good answer from cu cannon.
I do feal that Mr David Ross and C.M. is on trial, whitnesss have been called to testify about past business practices, and the jury (board ) will detrrmin his companys fate on this fourm. So I do bilieve that he should be informed of the "verdict" as to his company's status with regard to Greybeard Blackpowder morter and cannon resource listing.
George - I think civilcannon nails it here.
There are two issues, one (just above) is the speaking of the public (C.M.'s customers/potential-customers) in an open and free discussion (within civil parameters). This is the one that has likely the greatest impact.
The second issue is one of Bill's (Graybeard himself) position as owner/operator of GBO. DD & I communicate with him on many issues, but certainly not on every one of the thousands of topics in this forum alone. I believe we're operating within the guidelines and if Bill wants to make a public statement on one direction or the other I'm sure he will.
In the mean time we're letting this run, one small measured step at a time. From much discussion the facts become obvious.
