Autolink to Best?

Wow,
Everytime I tried to read the post on the new Best kite, I was automatically redirected to the Best website. I assume that wasn't something Ollie set up. Infuriating.
So I hate to get analytical, but this new sailcloth is as "strong as aluminum"? I mean, is it as strong as Reynolds Wrap? A Pepsi Can? A door panel on a Ford pickup that you can dent with one finger? This is a meaningless comparison. I would venture that most kite fabrics might be stronger than a piece of aluminum the same thickness.
With all kites designed pretty well now, and many of them made by the same factory in China, I think we're seeing the beginning of a marketing war of immense proportions, and the B.S. will be flying fast and thick.
Then, the mergers will begin...
Cynically,
Paul
