Steve,
I hate to see her go also. She represented what may be the last of those who believed...
However, have you taken a real close look at the warranty statement on the Mopar Performance site? If I had been associated with a project, and put a year of my time getting the bugs ironed out and the product ready for distribution, I would have been embarrassed to associate myself with the company that published such a circular referenced warranty negation policy as was placed on their web site. As it is, I am outraged that the bean counters have put the talent on the chopping block with their "quantum stumble" of a warranty statement.
It is a toss-up. Who affected her leaving the forum more? Was it the response to the sabotage presented in the warranty statement, or was it the act of sabotaging the project by issuing the warranty statement?
I am truly saddened to see that much effort, research, development and devotion torpedoed before it even hit the street. Even some dealers are refusing to install the product until the warranty statement is solidified into some policy that allows the dealer to legally install the product.
The "Q" word may be in order to describe this kluge. How would you feel if someone stole the fruits of your efforts by packing them in contraversy? I think I will lay off the forum for a while. I get more steamed every time I try to come to any rational understanding of what has just taken place over the last week, and the time spent preparing the derailment. Somewhere in the corporate offices there are celebrating a coup. An entire division has been neutered and not a drop of blood was visible to the public. And the worst thing about it is they had a good product ready to go that had built-in sales potential. Someone finally figured how to turn a no-brainer into a quagmire.
