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!)

I've addressed the post to you but I'm really talking to everyone to
posted
to this thread.

Good suggestion. I'm hard on vendors at times, (a lot of times) but I'm also
loyal to good ones and support them. I'm also not afraid to come back and
say they did things right. This type of thing works both ways. I
received a reply from one of the top guys. He took the time to explain
things, showed I'm getting a good deal, and he has my trust. Overall, for
the past few years I've been satisfied with the content of the magazine so
I'd be reluctant to stop it and spite myself. Heck, next time I add to my
web page I may even put a link to them on it.

I've made a couple of projects they had, I've bought some products they've
featured including Rockler parts. Some time back they featured a circle
cutting jig. I built one and have used it for cutting wheels out on the
bandsaw. This is one of the benefits of WJ as well as other magazines.

Stuff happens. What separates the good guys is how they handle the problem
and come to a resolution.
