what has alluded this conversation so far, is that except for a
fof's, no one remembers what it was like before kd came along, there
was constant on bended knees with out strecthed arms,
unfortunately, since we ARE the minorities of minorities,we are
simply an after thought for
most manufacturers, including our gauge/scale, we simply are paying
the price for being
a minority, unfortunately this bares thruth, even with kd, we aren't
even a blip on their radar,
so rather than continuing pissing and moaning, form a committee, and
draw a plan that
encompasses the best of all the couplers, i.e. kd, proto max,
accumate, shs, etc, and come
up with a game plan, we then can approach a manufacturer with the
information, so we can
have one standard coupler, but to simply sit in front of a keyboard,
with no life to speak of is ridiculous, if you want debate, go start
one with your wife, and see what she tells you to do!

Hi John….
I cannot speak for others, but I strongly object to the near-
constant bashing of Kadee products. So I’d like to point out their
good reliable operation and acceptable (though not outstanding)
appearance for the benefit of others who might not have tried
them. Simply trying to frame Kadee in the positive light which it
deserves.
Talking about a potential upcoming new product does not bother me
in the least. Bashing a fine existing product is annoying to put
it mildly.
Cheers....Ed L.
