Thank you Joe... I was wondering if someone was going to respond to that
one... I agree.
And think about it folkes... aren't there like 400+ people on this
newsgroup? All these companies, like Roadster Factory... are going to
see... if they haven't already... that they can't let a customer slip
through their fingers, left unsatisified... because there's a good
chance that the negative incident will be heard by 100's of customers...
I remember, LONG AGO, ordering a used part from an established company
in Northern California... THEY LIED TO ME... and outright screwed me
over... my only recourse, at the time, was court... which wasn't worth
my time... so I ate it... IMAGINE NOW... if the same incident
happened... I could share it will the group... and actually hurt their
bottom line...
They would have then seen the errors of their ways...and they would have
made good on their word... and then I would have reported their change
of heart to the group... and everyone would be happy again...
I think you all get the idea.
