As the owner of a madrat I'm pleased that the offical statement was made public. It clearly states Ansmann's position avoiding rumour and gossip. What can be wrong with that? I now know I don't have to worry about parts in the short term at least. Unless Ansmann sent that letter with some form of signed confedentiality contract, I don't see how making this public (Ansmann's letter read like a marketing letter anyway) harms Ansmann anymore than the news they are pulling out.
If you mean they will sell less of the remaining kits now because of the release of the letter, well keeping that secret to sell off the last remaining kits would be bad practice and I don't think they would be in to that.
If Ansmann didn't inform their staff before the model shops, then thats Ansmanns error of judgement and not anybody who shows a "non" secret message to an interested public.
