Thanks, but the collective recycling wasn't my idea. Credit goes to one of my good customers in Florida.
I sent you a private email with a little bit of info. There are some from the "opposing side" who watch this and other sites. They would gladly join this site (some already have) for the sole purpose of attempting to dispel any facts that may be presented here against their light god, the almighty *LED*.
As an FYI, there is even a representative from one of neon's "all time greats" who recently took sides with an LED manufacturer in a discussion between myself and the LED Klan member. I found it incomprehensible that a representative from a long-standing neon equipment and supplies manufacturing company, who claims to be a "neon industry leader" and who claims to be leading the fight against LED's, would do such a thing. However, this development may actually be a good thing. At least now I know what they are really all about instead of what they assert they are about. So, there are also some among us with two faces who watch the boards as well. Sorry if this sounds a little paranoid, but anyone who has really been watching what has been going on probably won't think so, and anyone who is truly concerned about the neon industry should also be concerned about who may or may not be genuinely on our side.
