Consider a suggestion. Maybe the next time you suspect a problem, you are
thinking of challenging a vendor or a practice and you want more
information
before taking the problem to the vendor; ask questions of the group. We
are
never short of answers. (opinions) Asking questions might keep productive
posts from turning into a "bash a vendor" bitch forum. (might!)


Ohhhhh John... I have to differ. Taking this approach will only result in
the standard newsgroup feeding frenzy where folks jump in and take their
turn at bash the vendor, or bash vendors at large. The best course of
action is to always take the problem to the respective party before taking
it to a public forum. Public forums are infinately less capable of
providing accurate answers than the agency involved. What public forums
excel at though is turning the smallest thing into some over grown, bloated
issue. Those opinions you reference are often the most dangerous form of
the written word.
