But what I can say is that there is certainly a culture of "continually improving the good" (as it is referred to in-house). The result is that design, production and processes are always being updated and tweeked as they go along (based on extensive field tests and customer feedback). Most of this is just done for the sake of creating better products and if communications were to make a hoo-ha about every tweek and improvement, they would never stop hoo-ha'ing. And that would just be silly.There are certainly tons of cool things that could be said about the various coatings (and other technical) improvements made over the years, but from what I can tell, the communications strategy has generally tried to keep it simple and focussed on large, easily visible changes.Happy birding,Dale</blockquote>
