I have dealt with Chris @ 24-7 in the past, hell, he was the first person to ship a part to me internationally!
Chris, good luck in your future endevours, not that you'll need it. I remeber thinking while going through the evolution of your website what a talented bloke you must be to have so many things going on at once!
Thanks for being a true inspiration to many riders over the years, and always having time to respond quickly and personally to an e-mail or phone call.
In regard to the he said/she said BS going on here, I think the 3rd parties need to let this take it's course. Forum talk doesn't help, it just adds fuel to the fire. We're all human, and we all have our breaking points, so even though there is some essentially non-X talk going on here, it doesn't change the fact that we're all here for the same reason....Braaaap!
Chill out and let it go, let the big boys sort it out.
Again, good luck Chris, and if all goes well/differences sorted, we'll have some new bits for our ski's......*shibby*
