is every bit as valuable to hear of bad experiences as good ones with
vendors, but while we are quick to sing the praises of those that meet or
exceed our expectations, we seem reluctant to point out those that fail to
do so.  Why protect the guilty?  If your experiences with this vendor are
out of character, others will quickly counter.  If others express similar
disappointments  the rest of us can avoid making the same mistake, the
vendor will be weeded out, and the breed will be strengthened.  Just my
$.02.
