That argument is totally illogical. Sure, Mr. Runyon is a nice guy, and
employs people, but he employs them in his interest (to make money), not
because he's a social service agency. And there's nothing wrong with making
money either, but let's not make a businessman into Mother (Father?)
Theresa. Pure and simple, these vendors are in business, and customers have
the right to order or not, to express pleasure or disappointment.
I have no problems with TRF, because I won't place an order unless they tell
me it's in stock. I tried to order a leather shift knob for my GT6+ from
them last night. I was told "6-8 weeks", and said "Never mind".
