This seems to contradict your earlier statement:

How could you know they will not design a custom machine unless you order 20,000, unless you asked?

Now, if you meant you haven't asked the factory you don't own to build a custom device yet, that's beside the point. I'm talking specifically about the factory you do own (or claimed to own at least).

Wow, do you actually have a MarCom person advising you on these posts or are you just winging it? What you said there is a pretty ham-fisted attempt to turn the opinions of others against me by blaming me for your decision to now restrict the flow of information. "If it wasn't for mean old SirBruce, we'd be more forthcoming!" Yeah right. If you want to engage customers on the Internet you need to have a thicker skin; deal with your readers honestly and avoid such rhetorical tricks.
