Yes, and we can file it under 'serendipity' that Dave's group buy brought us new information about Benchmade's likely direction. After all, it's been 7 or 8 years since the police department incident. Sweeping changes have been made to companies in much less than time than that.

But, even if Benchmade was/is still the old Benchmade, I weighed the matter and made a decision. I don't mind explaining those decisions, but, once explained, that's that. I'm willing to take blame just as easily as I take credit, so, it's all on me, no matter what.
