I find it interesting that I received an e-mail from Ned Wood, who works
for Manson Anchors, stating in part that:

"I have been watching the comments made about the Manson Supreme." and

"I would suggest not believing everything that the Rocna Salesman writes
online..." and

"Lastly, we never really want to get involved in the online mudslinging
that has become rife in these chat rooms...".

I certainly can appreciate the later comment, but it certainly would be
nice if they would answer some of the questions that people have. It
doesn't need to devolve into mud-slinging, but it would be nice to get
answers from someone who knows the product.


Obviously, he doesn't know RBC very well, nor this thread, as there has
not been *any* "mudslinging" (yet), just honest debate.

Some of the worst stuff occured on Wikipedia, 'anchors' entry. The history
can be seen on the the 'notes' pages. The accusations were that 'badmonkey'
aka Craig, of Rocna, hijacked the entry to promote his anchor, using
selective quotes and graphs. Sad when that happens.

Yes, good as the Rocna may (or may not) be, that speaks poorly for the
company. The Manson is also less expensive if memory serves.

Perhaps it is easy to cut costs by stealing other's designs and avoiding
the need for R&D.
