Far out DW fanboys, a lot of people have involvement in a project. But someone says Kudos to whoever at VRTP signed off on it, and say well direct your kudos to DW then. Then it's a case of 'No, he didn't sign off on it' and it's like 'Well he was probably involved, and who cares anyway'. Well no one does except for some reason people wanted to attribute the popular thing to their man for what ever reason, and then act like others are being pety for saying 'Nah that's not how it is'.
Maybe he put wooden coasters on the radar. Maybe he said 'You should ride this'. Maybe. I've no doubt he had some involvement, but I think declaring him the person who signed off on it and the mastermind of the whole thing just seems revisionist.
Realistically though, you've got to question how much sway he would have had, given he was sent off to China to languish around the same time as the contracts would have been being signed.
Anyway, that's the end of the discussion who signed off on it. Further comments on the matter will be deleted.
