[LASS Soaring] Oleg gets "Banned" from buying Dymond Products! Gordy's F...

[Ben Wilson]

What kind of manufacturer places a long-time customer on a "blacklist" 
without even having spoken to that customer?

Having met and spoken with Oleg a number of times, he is one of the most 
soft-spoken, reasonable people I've ever met in the hobby - which gives 
this situation considerably more gravitas than someone shouting about 
terrible service or a crap product.

On the upside, this is helping Mark Miller's Isthmus Models ;)

PS Gordy - I had Dickey's BBQ in Dallas on Tuesday.  Very tasty ribs!
