If you re-read my post - it was on PAN and EXPLORER, not PAN and MD. There is no-one in this world who can defend the actions of MD of the past few years. MD had a good run from 1999 to 2003, but things went South for a handful of reasons. The helicopter community thought all would be better in August of 2005, but as we see, that was not mean to be. The posts that PAN is included in were pointed more directly at his bashing of a product at a time when it was actually doing well and being improved. No arguments about the company, but the bashing of the machine is where my comments and also I belive coconutty's comments come from.
As I said, bias if fine, no problems with that. I am biased myself. Just admit it. The time he started writing this stuff the Explorer was heading the right direction. Too bad it was such a short trip!
