If you're referring to the innocent (and somewhat buried) remark I
made a few days ago, then fine by me. I figured they were all
probably made by a third-party of some kind, just brought to
market by other companies. Taylor is much less expensive and a
pleasure to work with, which is why I suggested contacting them
rather than Polder.

I was wrong that Taylor made the Polder products.

See how easy that is, Peter A?

BTW: Is that where your company gets their thermometers?

Or are the American counterpart of FOB? (They way you used
"innovation" sounded a little suspicious). If you are, then Thank
You for the silicon probe thermometer.

But why did it take Polder/Taylor almost a decade to start using
it? Supposedly you folks invented it 12 years ago?

If the cord were silicon, would it not fracture apart
the first time you tried to flex it? Silicon has
almost no flexibility whatsoever, being an extremely
brittle material.

And if you're wrong about that, what about other
statements that you've made? Can we trust anything
else that you've said?

But silicone flexes. I'd guess it was a typo

Why on earth would you make a leap like that!! Unless of course you never
make a mistake or indeed, you are perfect??

Only a schizoid [censored] such as Mark Thorazine would assume silicon...
obviously the poster meant silicone (polymeric organic silicon
compound).
