Is DLX Technology Group really just Smart Parts?

[pmstc]

Why do the claim otherwise?

Probably to avoid the reputation that SP has gained over the years?

Everyone said shut up its not a big deal? You mean AO as a whole, or Mods, or Rouge?

He whined about **** and lies all the time. He was just as bad as the whole SP thing..

[Chronobreak]

that was the generaly consensus, though not everyone said that, a few people saw through the lies.

but most defended him.

To be fair, Rogue didn't steal a picture and create a fake identity to do that, and he neglected to confirm or deny his affiliation with those sites. No stealing, no lying. I'm no fan of Rogue, but it's hardly the same.

Back to the topic......anyone wanta call SP and see if you can con one of them to "inner office" transfer the call to DLX rep? I bet they all have 2 phones on their desk... rings one SP and one rings DLX!

Its probably complex.

Does GM own Chevy? No doubt... in fact aside from a few body pieces most of the full-size trucks are fully interchangeable.

But it can get trickier

Does Ford own Mazda? Ford owns a controlling interest of Mazda and shares a lot of technology, however it is not 100% owned.

So: Does SP own DLX?

There is very little doubt there is collaboration between the two. However, unless one is a publically traded company it is highly unlikely you will ever sort out how deep it goes.

The issue again is not really who OWNs who or who IS who they say they are...

It all come down to ethics, honesty and truth. Its a HONESTY issue...all these facts are just means to an end of tragic DISHONESTY to all paintball players.

Its more than semantics...its about telling your customers one thing and the reality is completely different.

Go to those car MFG sites...they dont deny the reality of thier relationships nor go to great lenghts to make sure the customer never knows that the GMC Sierra is the same truck as the Chevy Silverado....

Here is an interesting thought: Has either "Siegfreid or Roy" (the Gardner Bros.) made any statement about this episode? To my knowledge, neither have had anything to say (publicly, at least) about this fiasco. Hmm...interesting....

Eh, if they didn't want drama they shouldn't have stolen someone else's IP for the purpose of misleading their customers. What goes around comes around; I have no sympathy for them.

Of course, they were also doing this to hide the fact that DLX and SP are not as separate as they'd like to pretend. They brought this all down on themselves.

Typically, I work from 9 to 5. There is a separation between DLX and Smart Parts; they are run very differently and they are not the same company.

Let me ask you this.

Someone comes to me with an idea for a business that I can provide parts for. They are short on capital but make a great pitch and I have faith in them.

I lend them $$ to start the business of it and provide all parts at a profit to them.

I have a vested interest in them succeeding, even if I do not directly own them.

I am going to "lend" them expertise, and even staffing if need be for the short term to make certain there is return on my investment.

Doesn't happen in business right? Wrong... I can tell you for certain it does.

SP is not a giant (at least in the scheme of a business model), and a lot of what they do is likely based on some odd small scale business models.

Sure I agree with you...all that could be....but the question is WHY cont. to LIE about it all...Same building, address and employees....why not just be honest and tell the consumer the real deal...come clean...why continue to LIE....we all know SP and DLX are the same company...the issue is that they LIE about it and want us to believe other wise....
