I have stayed out of this for far too long. My delete key is wearing
thin. All this posturing, with or without the threat and bluff
technique, a skill we as males, develop at an early age. Can we put this
thing to rest? In all the hub-bub of our collective outrage, we have
lost sight of a very important fact- - The tech that made the original
diagnoses of the engine condition, IMHO is the real culprit.. He s
either completely inept or had a hidden agenda (screwing Mellisa),
Pardon the metaphor, I'm referring to unnecessary work. He was probably
hoping to get the job.

For all of those that threatened and predicted dire consequences for
Parts Place; I would suggest you take a look around and, then
rationally, state honestly how powerful we think we are. IMOH most of
the frustration came from the realization of just how powerless we are.
I for one will unequivocally state that if I needed a part and
PartsPlace was the only one that had it - I would deal with them. I
think most of us are in the same boat. Why else would we support some of
the things that we do.

Take heart, fellow listee's, better days are coming. The assholes of
this world will always be with us. The only way to deal with them is
with caution and with a hand full of vaseline when we really have to
have a part. Bud Yandell

PS - Flame dance already started.
