I may not be remembering this accurately but many years ago the MGCC directors spent a lot of money trying to get established in the USA and it failed dismally.
I do not doubt that. But as I can't answer the "Past Chairman's" question, I have posed it to many others (U.S.) who seem to care about the MSCC. Still I do not have an answer.
There is no doubt that the U.S. has become the most litigious nation in the world. I would not do business with the U.S. either if I did not live here.
I agree with Stewart. For 40lbs why not just enjoy what You can. If You feel like criticizing than volunteer to fix it. Other wise just enjoy.
