First, like I said before, I was curious as to why ZPI's items are no longer offered through turbochargers.com. They can still be pumping out the ZPI kits as they were for the last 3 weeks while your "chief engineer" is hard at work on the next best thing<insert joke here>, unless they ran out of stock.., no, wait, that can't be it due to the fact that they never have poop in stock to begin with. So, from a business perspective, it does not make sense to cease making his bread and butter that put him on the map in the first place, before a replacement is in production.

Second, to answer your question, I am at the forefront of two companies, one of which I am the sole decision maker and consult with another person in the other. Now, to come back to my initial point, unless there are any legal, administrative, or other issues with a similar effect that would prevent turbochargers.com from selling ZPI kits to supplement their greddy and turbonetics kits is not a business model I would implement considering the cost on those ZPI kits would be nothing as opposed to the others since they are made in house.

Last, I am glad you are handy with online dictionaries but your little switcheroo with my posts only demonstrates your intense effort to side step the topic at hand. If you would put them back in chronological order and consider the time at which they were written, they would make perfect sense. So instead of a word, I have a term for you:

Reading comprehension - "Reading comprehension is understanding a text that is read, or the process of "constructing meaning" from a text. Comprehension is a "construction process" because it involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind".

Perhaps that is the reason they no longer show up on the turbochargers.com site.

All designs, are in the engineers brain, but once it is designed for a company, and to be branded as a companies product, the intlectual propertied belong to the company. I have 3 patents with my name on them, however the company owns all the intllectual properties to those items, so I got my 150 bucks for each, a plaque and the company gets to make the millions!

For the last time; ZPI items were on sale from the turbochargers.com website after Kenny came on board, then magically everything (not just the turbo kits) ZPI disappeared. This has nothing to do with intellectual property. Why would the new Mr.VP wear ZPI shirts with his old staff at the new place of business while offering them through turbochargers.com then all of a sudden stop??? Do you not understand what I am asking, because I am running out of ways to convey this to you.

They were selling ZPI items on turbochargers.com website. That to me, would indicate that Kenny (the new VP of Turbochargers.com) had (at that time) every intention to milk his previous brand for money. This would also indicate that he was under the impression that it would be legally feasible. Shortly after Danny and Kenny had that meeting, the ZPI section and all their items disappeared from the web site. One can conclude that some legal issues came into play. I wanted to know if anyone actually knew more on this issue without guessing as to what happened.

HOWEVER, that is/was no longer the case. Just because he wore a shirt though, you are confused. Hope your confusion is clear now.
