Re: Splitting versus dubbing ropes
I'm not the least bit surprised you would feel that way, Ken, and thank you so very much for expressing that. But no worries. My interest in original Pearsall is sated; it's a dead product and at this point the only thing that matters is moving on from it. We are fortunate to have products that are ...
