Hi Mr. Walker,
"In any case, group buyers should note that the only reason they can get the specs to make Hip Joints in bulk is because the designer thought about doing the same thing and took a pass."
You appear to misinterpret my reasoning, motives and intentions.
Hip Joints have a history that is now more than 3 years running. If you read my posts carefully, you'll find that although I consulted with one attorney early on, when I considered marketing them, and decided not to, I have also posted on numerous occasions that there is something about sharing the idea for free that I find quite appealing.
Despite your repetition of the assertion of one individual (who has never seen them) that the design is a "copy", Hip Joints predated the commercial product he refers to by at least a year. Before referring to something a "copy" I believe it might be a good idea to actually see it. (I must admit to curiosity about minds that conjure dark motives on the part of others without bothering to question those others first.)
No one gets the specs "to make Hip Joints in bulk". They have always been given away for free for what I clearly state on the specs as "personal, non-commercial use".
Happy Listening!
Barry
