Standby Vacuum?

Real intelligent. I guess I have my answer.


Actually, I was laughing because the only explanations I could come up with for
your cheap shot were either that (a) you have recently arrived here from another
planet or (b) that you are one of the bloodsuckers yourself. But I guess (c)
ignorance is always an option on the news groups.

But to answer your question more directly, in addition to many years experience
as a manager and business owner that has led me to understand these things,
consider the fact that the two companies have addresses 5.5 miles apart:

63354 Powell Butte Road Bend, OR 97701
1947 NE Curtis Bend, OR 97701

and

from the Precise Flight press release:

"... This new agreement will create an offsite facility for manufacturing,
customer service, order fulfillment and all marketing procedures..."

The keyword being, of course, "offsite." No one is saying "independently owned."

also The Vacuum Source's president was "a key member of the Precise Flight
sales team for the past 4 years"

and from The Vacuum Source:

"The company [The Vacuum Source] was established to offer products and
educational items dealing with primary vacuum source failures ... "

and

both companies TRACERT to the same ISP:

OrgName: OLM,LLC
OrgID: OLM
Address: 1980 University Lane
City: Lisle
StateProv: IL
PostalCode: 60532
Country: US

Kind of a coincidence that two totally independent companies in Bend, OR would
select the same hosting service in a couple thousand miles away in Illinois,
don't you think?

If you are really curious, you can go he

and order copies of the articles of incorporation. Then compare the names for
matches to:

http://egov.sos.state.or.us/br/pkg_w...&p_print=FALSE

That should be pretty definitive on whether they are a purpose-created shell or
not. My guess, as stated, is that they are. And for a good, logical reason:
Protection from the bloodsuckers.
