I agree with you Bob.  I'm tired of using the delete key.  I wish these
people would take their rantings off the list.  Hope it's over for awhile.

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.
