I don't think anyone's intent was to cause alarm or debate the delicate subject. Fact, mine wasn't. Just intend to emphasise my and others regard and love for Perseas, George, GP Team and the Spheroid. And, many of us here do, it is easy to do for most of us.I have no problem with clones. If you have a problem with a clone then toss out every piece of electronics you own, plus probably everything else in your home.
What I have a problem with are "replicas". Blatantly stealing another's work and selling it as your own for a profit. Sure, these clones are ripoffs, but they are what they are....cheaper/more affordable versions of the original, but with the tradeoff of quality/appearance. Hell, every genesis available are clones of each other. Now, when said clone crosses the bridge to a replica, stealing design (functionally and aesthetically)....then I have a problem. Stealing someone's work is wrong....period. Taking a general idea of someone and expanding on it (be that making it better or cheaper by sacrificing features) is a grey area that we all have to embrace or else everything invented would be a monopoly-type item and there'd be no pricing competition or reason to progress to make your item better than the competition.

As, we were simply talking about a Spheroid copy and the purchase of. I apologize if the post was misleading.
With respect to you, I feel this is not the venue for your above discussion.
Back to what brought us here together....GP
