Yes, gotcha. <br><br>Actually, I love that idea, as long as it stays honest. (Meaning that there isn't a "Billy Bob Inspector #23" real person just rubber stamping his name) Why not? If he's making such fantastic products that people seek him out, he should be rewarded for his quality. It would be tricky to balance the brand staying more in focus than the sub-brand, certainly, but you could do it. Lionel at Dell is more "Dell" than the brand "Dell" to me, but that doesn't stop me from working with/buying from Dell. (Actually Apple does that, but you get my point! :)) Ah! Yes, gotcha.

Billy Bob built my last iPhone and I didn't have any problems with it. I'll look for a 3G that he built. Billy Bob becomes a sub-brand.
