Subject: Bashing of parts suppliers
Listers,
Well, it has happened again, and, as always, the sequence is the
same.....
Step 1. Lister "A" gets pissed at LBC parts supplier "X" and rants to
the
list.
Step 2. Listers "B" through "J" chime in and agree that "X" is a
terrible
corporation run by terrible people.
Step 3. Listers "K" through "O" come to the defense of "X".
Step 4. Listers "P" through "V" turn the conversation to include
criticism, or praise, of the other LBC suppliers, "Y" and "Z".
Step 5. Finally, lister "W" ends the thread with a message from a
rational
voice saying something like, "Just remember, without "X", "Y", and "Z"
we
wouldn't be able to get ANY parts for our cars so quit your bitching"
It usually takes about 4 (+/- 1) days to get from "A" to "Z" during
which
time I make heavy use of my delete key. -Bob
