Maybe i'm the only one here ... but i'm NOT a complete expert on roadsters. I
DON'T have my own personal parts source and i HAVEN'T dealt with all the
suppliers on the list. whereas i've never had a bad experience with a supplier
or anyone else on the list, it doesn't mean that i wouldn't want to take the
advice of other, more experienced roadster owners.
after all, that's what the list is for, isn't it? an informative mailing list
such as this exists so that we, as a group, may learn from the mistakes of each
of the members on the list.
i'm not advocating the creation of a "black list" filled with suppliers that
are deemed "bad". i do, however, think that it's important to know where others
have had trouble in the past and then decide for ourselves whether or not we
want to deal with these allegedly fraudulent roadster suppliers.
that felt more like a nickel
