Tom, the fact of the matter is that I think lots of people, ME INCLUDED, are taking this brand crap way too seriously. And for those who missed the all-caps part, let me repeat it: I'm as guilty as the next.

I love the busting-on-thy-neighbor part, but this is getting silly. That's why I called you out on the financial statements. You can't provide them, and I know that. Stihl is privately held, and as such is not subject to the same reporting rules Husky is. So even if you DO come up with some numbers, they won't necessarily mean a thing. Any finance guy could tell you anything. Hell, Stihl could say they've cornered the ham-sandwich market and there's no way to "prove" they haven't.

By the same token, we make some claims about Jred/Husky saws that border on the divine, too. (Not many, but hey...I'm tryin' to be even-handed here...)

Fact is I just miss the good-ole days when these kinds of threads were more about old-fashioned, good-natured, you-leave-my-mama-out-of-this character assasination.

It's all gettin' too serious for me. We need more bull-crappin' around here. That's all I'm saying.


p.s. I was just kidding about the "361 causes cancer" bit. That's ridiculous. Everyone knows it doesn't cause cancer. It causes AIDS.

Woodie let me tell you I went to buy a 2171 and I thought let me try the Husky dealer,He beat them on price so I got the 372XP

Stan, what a shock. You, like many Husky buyers I see at Lowe's and Sears, are a PRICE SHOPPER!

Woodie i will say it beat my 441

That PRICE SHOPPER thing again.

just being honest dont get me wrong the 441 is a nice saw.The 372XP is just better

Ho hum. The PRICE SHOPPER thing, I know.

is a no brainer the 372XP

Yep, few brains, few dollars! You're a PRICE SHOPPER!

i agree either of the top 4 are fine saws just a matter of features

And Stan, your feature is PRICE!

Go away, Stan, you bother me,

Joat
