I am saying the same as what you posted. Buy or manufacture are the same to me. It cost them money (I am assuming) to manufacture the 5 units.

I see your point re J G. No comment as I have not heard that name before the questionnaire linking the past to the current. I find it funny how we can focus on a negative and not see the larger picture. He is not factored into my rational at all and I can only connect them using google.

KMPG is huge IMO a large name brand. I have guessed that some of the bead sales were some who wanted to try or perhaps disassemble by a competitor.
