These are the same Bustmaster folks who made the F16 top gun pro stick that will not work with the bustmaster rudder pedal system.

After sending the stick back and having to remind them 2 months later to return or replace it they still wouldn't admit it would not work together. I had to find out through the BBS and then get confirmation from bustmaster.

Nope Maverick, its not the same "bustmaster"
(and I rather prefer the name Thrustmaster, sounds like a porn name)

The company was bought by Guillemot a few months ago. Thats how the got the funding to make the new line of joysticks, controllers and dildos with very high quality.

Actually, they were bought by Guillemot almost a year and a half ago so it could be them.  I've had mixed results with their tech support, but no worse than I've seen with other large companies out there.  I'd bet on ignorance before a lie...the support guy you talked to probably just didn't know enough about what he was supporting to tell you.  In any case, they couldn't possibly be as bad as Logitech's email support...automated responce, then when you escalate it to a real person, what you get might as well be an automated responce.

  Straffo You cheated at Hastings - your troops were fresh, whereas King Harold's had just smacked the Vikings about and had to double time for about 300 miles back South to fight the Normans.
 

Agincourt might be spelt differently, straf. Agincourt was where King Henry defeated about 25,000 French troops (including heavy cavalry) with about 6000 English long-bow archers.

Having said all this, the genetic differences between English and French people are virtually nil. We invaded each other dozens of times over the last 2000 years.

In more ways than one.
