Jon,
I agree, their assessment of psubbers, would not be flattering. ESOPs fable of the "Fox and the Grapes", comes to mind, with these harsh comments regarding UBoatWorx.
In looking at their website briefly, Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Adams would do well to observe that the main product they have to sell,... is themselves. Apparently, Mr.. Allen did not buy. That put a severe dent in the business plan.
