Steve Gass continues to make friends. I wonder if someone losing a
finger will sue Gass for not allowing Bosch to sell here.

Is there a shortage of Saw Stop saws here? Is the price of Saw Stop so
prohibitive here that anyone who would have bought a Reaxx for the
safety feature can't/won't buy a Saw Stop?

IOW, I don't see how anyone could sue the company that offers a comparable
product to the banned one. If someone wants the technology, and a Saw Stop
is available at roughly the same price, why would Gass be liable if someone
chooses not to buy his product? How did Gass cause that finger to be lost?

You can sue anybody for anything. Doesn't mean
you'll win.

We just want something horrible to happen to
Gass.

Speak for yourself.
The man offered all the companies the licensing rights. none took him up
on it.


He "offered" them for a high price intended to
enrich Gass. If you want to see how someone who
actually cares about public safety handles it,
look at how Daimler-Benz handled the patents on
antiskid braking systems.

I don't begrudge him. You do.. that's your problem.


I begrudge anybody who wants laws passed that
have the effect of putting money in their own

Oh boo hoo.
