I have been following these ridiculous posts, and I guess what I get out of it is, you must have a lot of free time. I have been a process engineer for 20 years in this industry, and have dealt with a number of vendors. On most occasions, I have been treated fairly. Companies that don't, just don't remain around. This industry is to incestuous for bad vendors to survive. To set up a web site solely dedicated to bashing, with slighted results, is not only juvenile, but in this highly litigious society, plain stupid! I guess I would have to ask, have all your customers always had a 100% success rate with your company. I would think you would be less than honest if you said they did. Should they air your companies dirty laundry on a one sided on the web site? I don't know who you work for, but I tell you this. If you put post like you have the last few days, I'd fire you quicker than you could say "Thank you, very much" >From: "Stephen R.
