haha, doesnt matter to me who owns who, especially when you see the kind of money they throw around.

my company is an OEM that builds furnaces for melting iron, and they just bought a new 25 metric ton furnace. the thing is quite large. they also bought a robot to tend the furnace, thats where i come in.

friggin BS!!!! Ford has 'attacked' another forum i used to frequent. I heard they attacked a mustang forum, but now they're attacking 'therangerstation.com' for use of the Ranger name. They want the owner of the site to surrender the name and hand over 5g's within 10 days of today. WTF? Can't get bailout, might as well piss off your loyal customers! Here's the email I got from the admin.

Dear Member,

I appologize for this email. I don't normally email the members but this is an emergency.

Today, (December 9, 2008) I received a letter from the law offices of Howard, Phillips & Andersen that represent the Ford Motor Company. Ford is forcing us to surrender the name 'therangerstation.com' to them and stop using it. Ford states that using the name 'Ranger' when used in reference to the Ford Ranger is a trademark violation. In addition they are wanting me to pay them $5,000.

As you may know, The Ranger Station has been around for the past 10 years and has been a valuable resource to Ranger enthusiasts.

If Ford does this to us, where will they stop?

I have 10-days to surrender the name and pay them $5,000. I'm asking that you contact Ford online and ask them to reconsider making us change our name and prohibiting us from using the word 'Ranger'.

You can contact them at:

"To whom it may concern:

I am writing concerning your recent legal attacks on various "fan" websites for vehicles such as the Mustang and Ranger. I am insulted by this careless misuse of our legal system and am reconsidering any further vehicle purchases from your company until you cease and desist from any further legal action concerning this subject. I have been a Ford owner for many years and I had hoped to stay that way. These attacks are morally wrong since they are geared towards your customers, and do not instill the least bit of confidence in your brand. For the sake of your business, I ask you to please reconsider immediately.

Thank you."

Thank you for your support and I applogize for this email.
