If you'd seen the cut-offs they put in place at (Trade/Press) events like Nuremberg - I doubt you'd be worrying too much about saying (mildly) nasty things about them. Even the bricks that have been thrown in my direction by DML's pet poodle, show that companies like Dragon are damned aware of what's being said and talked about.

Tamiya are a monolith who don't give a monkey's about their plastic kit range and throw a few crumbs to the modeler every year - and people are STILL grateful? ..

So, if I am following this thread correctly, Jim, you are saying that because you don't like the way you have been treated by Tamiya, it is okay to disparage their products? If you don't like their stuff, that is fine, but to write something up and insult it at the same time, doesn't seem to me something the "Managing Editor, Newsdesk" should be doing.

I also would like to apologize to Jim for the the thread jack.
I would also like to make a blanket apology to anyone who thought as a staff member of this site I was actually entitled a sense of humor. It won't happen again, trust me.

At NO time must Staff Members show, Sarcasm, Cynicism or demonstrate even the most rudimentary sense of humor...

For Dave

No, as someone pointed out it WASN'T an 'official' News Item and it only shows that some people have so little to do that they will analyze EVERYTHING down to the last semi-colon in the hope of scoring some (mysterious) points.

I made a comment. Looking back at it I realized that it was an unreasonable one to make. Realizing that, I apologized. Full stop. No caveats. No excuses. The response I get? I seem to be accused of having nothing better to do than figure out things to complain about. How does that help this board?
