For Christ sakes Mr. Anonymous Pussy Boy, take a look at the IANTD, TDI or =
whatever agency web sites and see all the "official" products those =
agencies are pushing. Why should GUE be any different?

Business 101, APB, you start a business to make money. You make money in =
this business by providing, what is called in the computer industry, an "=
end-to-end" solution. In this case it means providing superior training =
using a superior gear configuration and making available superior gear to =
the customer. If there is something wrong with this, I'd like to know, Mr. =
APB.

I can also say that nobody is putting a gun to anybody's head and forcing =
you to purchase EE or GUE products. You buy what the hell you want, then =
you buy something that works. Personally I have an AUL 100 light which =
works fine. It may not be optimal but it works for me. So far Rocko has =
not shown up at my door shaking me down to purchase a EE light whether I =
like it or not. There are several manufacturers of DIR wings out there, =
you just have to go out and find them as their marketing sucks.

So go back to your hole, Mr. APB dumbass and lick your wounds. Perhaps if =
Sartek did some marketing of their own, they might sell a few of their =
lights. I've never seen one, heard of anybody using one, and have no idea =
what their product line is. They should fire their marketing manager. That =
wouldn't be you, would it?

 Jim
