I don't know. If they went to a great expense to give something to shareholders, it would be nice, but not sure if it would make much sense from a cost/benefit perspective. Emphasis on "not sure." I think arguments could be made both ways.
If that is the case, though, you'd hope the good stuff they saved for customers, but having heard that Engel was there (and that new "mold" hire from Kinetics) you'd suspect the "customers" were given a pretty good show. They should have anyway. Your history is a lot longer, so you see those things, but it sounds like a lot of newer shareholders there probably don't see those differences. Not that that's good or bad either way, you're right, you'd just hope the visitors the days before got a more intricate look into how to do things and since they required LQMT to sign off on NDA's and it doesn't sound like ASHM visitees did, I'd presume there was much more detailed discussions on the days before the ASHM and maybe more complex parts and shapes generated.
Are you sure what you got was all made on that machine? I mean, did they produce it while you were watching and then give it to you?
