Yeah, I will concede that my reasoning may be faulty here. It just seems to me though, that it is a bit hypocritical for TGP members to blast those who buy Dano TOD pedal but don't blast those making a profit on Paul's work.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

In any case, he's obviously "sold out" if his waiting list is months long. So you can't really say he loses any sales--even to Danelectro--if he's always working from a big backlog of orders. Of course, I'm playing a bit of devil's advocate here, too!
