Blackbag and Bilock

Postby globallockytoo » 31 Jul 2007 4:25

I find it interesting that it appears Blackbag have editted their blog to remove mention of Bilock.

There used to be some little discussion in there but none now. I know that Barry has a cylinder. Perhaps he prefers not to post on something he hasnt been able to bypass? pick? impression? bump?

Perhaps there are other reasons?

Bluestar did you actually read Globals post :?
The post basically answered your questions before you asked them.

Also discussion of whatever it likely said isnt for the open forums, i think it was more a rhetorical qustion on why has it been removed,

Barry himself was iffy on Multipick-Service selling european bump keys before so maybe he's taking a similar stand on advanced material like we do here.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Pruning old material? I didn't know he had written anything on bilock. Shame, hopefully he was making room for something amazing.

bilock

Postby Barry » 26 Sep 2007 10:16

Globallockytoo: there must be some kind of mix-up.

I do not recall having written about Bilock, and if I did, I do not recall having removed anything about it.

Can you please clarify what it was you read, and why you think I removed it?

And for the record: I have nothing against bi-lock, as a matter of fact I do like the system. Unfortunately in Europe (or at least the Netherlands) I can not get them anywhere.

I do believe you have good intentions, but could it be you are mistaking and mixing my blog for another source on the big world wide web?

Kind regards,

Barry

I remember reading something about Bilock in a readers comments. Sometime mid last year, it was removed. Perhaps that is the "awaiting moderation" kicking in?

Do you still have the sample cutaway that you were given?

Would you like some product to test your theories on?

We bumped into each other at ALOA in Charlotte briefly, but I dont expect you to remember me. (Although I'm hard to not remember)

reply bi-lock

Postby Barry » 27 Sep 2007 4:36

Dear Globallockytoo:

Thanks for your comment.

Too bad you did not use the opportunity to discuss this bi-lock
misunderstanding when we bumped in to each other at Aloa.

And for the rest: sorry, it does not ring a bell.

I have no problem continuing this nice discussion off-site, but I
prefer to know who I am talking to. So please send me a private
message containing your real name and valid e-mail address, and we
will take it from there.

Kind regards,

Barry Wels
