The value of the original post, whether it's considered to be Wayne-bashing or whether some people think the poster should have re-negotiated the deal quietly and directly with Pelican, is that it has made apparent to a number of people, including me, that "OEM" doesn't mean exactly what we thought it did. For that, thank you.

Admittedly, it might have been better-phrased. Whether it's a "slippery sales tactic" or an industry usage with which many buyers aren't familiar is debatable.
