Shamus,
Neither Vortex, nor you personally, at this stage, have anything to prove. If this thread has not convinced anyone with a brain how strong Vortex' commitment to their customers is, there really is nothing else you can do.
I have watched Vortex grow for the last twenty years from a small startup to what it is today. A lot has evolved. Methods, products, practices etc Vortex' company values have not. It is almost unheard of for a company to go through so much growth without forgetting what's important, yet Vortex somehow pulled it off.
Chances are that aside from Vortex employees, I have seen more of your products than pretty much anyone. Whenever I wanted to look at something, your team was remarkably accommodating. A little while back, I remember I was visiting and had a question about consistency of the turret feel on one of the Razor scopes. Your guys let me loose on a cart that had about a hundred scopes. With no adult supervision. Never seen anything like it anywhere else.
