basskisser,
I'm starting to get the impression that none can come up with enough
proof to satisfy you and that you argue just for the sake of argument. This
isn't the sign of a reasonable person. I don't offer this statement in order
to get into a confrontational situation with you but to bring to your
attention your lack of willingness to listen to the majority opinion. I
think it's obvious from the preceding posts that there is a gore-tex product
that is a thread. I like to think of a newsgroup as a source for information
rather than a debating area where winning the debate is paramount.

basskisser,
See, http://www.gore.com/creative/tanara.html , I would think
it's using
gore-tex thread to stitch a cushion together as opposed to say
nylon thread.

Nowhere on that site, NOWHERE is there a mention of Gore-Tex, a
fabric, go to THEIR website, not some generic drivel, and look
around,
here is the link:

http://www.gore-tex.com

Actually, there is mention of gore-tex thread on thier website. You
just didn't look hard enough.

Here are links of people using gore-tex thread:

http://www.kron4.com/Global/story.asp?S=1511515

"The gore-tex thread, which looks like dental floss, is run up the
check
then attached on the side of the head."

http://www.nordstromhospital.fi/eLips.htm

"Gore-tex thread is soft and elastic and around 1,8 mm in diameter."

http://www.perineology.com/files/vag_tape2.htm

"Then, with a constant visual control, stitches of Gore-Tex® threads
set
on a small but strong needle are passed, right and left, through the
outer parts of the arcuate ligament."

Now, if you want to find it on their webside, go to
http://www.gore-tex.com and click on the link at the bottom, Medical
Products. Then click on one of the products links, general should be
fine. Near the bottom you'll find a line for gore-tex suture that
will
lead you to:

http://www.goremedical.com/English/P...ture/Index.htm

Hmm, Steve, even you can do better than that. You say that Gore-Tex
has thread on their website, yet you show other websites. Now you know
that NONE of those products uses the Gore-Tex trademark.

Not true. The goremedical site is the Gore-Tex® official corporate
website for Gore-Tex® medical products. It is *their* website. Look at
the official Gore-Tex® medical products website at this link:

http://www.goremedical.com/English/P...ture/Index.htm

and you will see that their website shows the surgical thread labled
with their registered trademark GORE-TEX.®

Did you look at their medical products website? Do you still not
believe that Gore-Tex® makes surgical suture thread?

Steve

Hmm, so, how many boats do YOU see that use "Gore-Tex" thread, Steve?
