I have no way to know. That would be my guess. I was there for a conversation with the powers that be about exactly that but they just wanted our opinions and expressed none of their own. I am sure they are monitoring the situation and trying to decide what to do with this company. You know those guys run a super-tight ship and are very pro-CI so I am sure restoring ML to it's throne of an exclusive high-end brand is most likely in the works. I would love to see some credibility restored to that brand whether it be just approving the dealers that Big-A sells to as many others do or taking the line direct only again. This line best lends itself to "Custom Retailers" because it really needs to be displayed and heard to be sold properly. I would love to see ML succeed.
