You should have know fer sur when the shaft did not turn smooth and free.
If you don't have the truth before you spend the money, who's the boob? If
you don't know truth when you see it, who's the Bozo.

You are a fool for thinking they won't deteriorate with non use without
setting them up to survive. You were fooled by 'maintenance free'. It's a
lie. Now you know. Trade them in on the impecable warrenty they came with
and demand they pay for your time to replace them 'cause that's only fair.
Otherwise, they're rip-off. Be sure to tell the world which brand should be
boycotted by all Bozos so we'll know.

You had all the empirical evidence when you turned the shaft, before you
paid.

You can rest assured, however, that you are not the

Agree that many others have made the same error. Join the club.

Yes, logic seems alien when you don't have a clue.

I interpreted your action in shotgun posting a vial attack upon someone who
obviously was busting his ass to kiss yours and give you what you wanted. A
perfect tranny at less than the true time/money to insure that. You want
modest outlay with excellent results. If you add your own screwups, someone
else must be responsable in your mind. It just can't be you being dumb,
'cause your right always, aren't you? And when you aren't, someone else
still should have to pay, 'cause they never protected you from yourself.

If you don't want to get wet, stay o'tta da pool. Next time you feel like
throwing flames in public, don't act on your feelings, think again. Every
community has a fire dept., internet communities included.

Learn from your mistakes, or repeat them, as you will.

That closes this string for me and represents my rebuttal in whole. I might
forward p-mail to the list if it might add understanding of the issue if
the Bozo witholds it from public.

Otherwise, ignorance is bliss.
