Just a point of clarification....

Reading this quote above, excerpted from an exchange on Hubstripping.com, one could mistakenly conclude that it was Brandt who was making some "claim" in 2007, since the original poster (TCS) uses a locution that obscures the identity of the person:

"... still to be claiming in 2007... is in error"

immediately after referring to Brandt. TCS is actually responding to another poster in the exchange there on the hubstripping.com site, who happened to allude to Brandt's earlier (2002) remarks about the SA hub's gear slipping issues. TCS is questioning that poster's motives, not Brandt's. TCS should probably have told the poster that he was not up-to-date on changes in the design; to impugn his character was uncalled for.
