It's one thing to decide; We don't do five strings. Perfectly acceptable. Quite another though to bring one out, mess up - ooops! - with the pups, promise a solution (as they did at the time) and then do nothing about it for years. That is just sloppy and not at all with Ric's carefully tended image. My German enginneering ethics are hugely offended. Problems are zere to find technical solutions, jawohl! We didn't stop improving on the brakes of the Porsche either after Jimmy D. crashed his.
