I agree with William,
I think there needs to be a separation maintained between dialogue among the
wrenches, and submissions to and from manufacturers.
As a development engineer I well remember the vast gulf at times between the
technical truth and the official truth that was released.
I don't think that having a manufacturers rep. at times posting official truth
will serve to assist us towards reality.
I do agree with promoting dialogue with manufacturers in a controlled way
(after consensus).
This is not the right forum for manufacturers. We are in danger of confusing
the process of objective conclusion based on field experience.
Lets maintain a clean sounding board and a formal objective relationship with
the manufacturers and their products.
