Hello Tony G and Welcome to the Yard! Regarding the vote, it was quite obvious that the vote had been skewed, and I applaud Dan's decision to go with the Bowie next. It was my first choice, followed by the Infi Mudder. It sounds like the Mudder will be the next model released after the Bowie anyway, so there is no need for anyone to be upset, and I plan on getting the Mudder as well.
This forum holds my greatest interest, with only an occasional trip to the Swamp, and very rarely to BladeForums. I like what I see so far from the Yard, and plan on buying more of their products that suit my particular needs, though not neccessarily every one. I can certainly understand your view towards the Bowie, but hope you are happy with future offerings. We would love to have you become an active participant on this forum, so please consider such. Tom
