Good Afternoon  Gang  & Jonathan, BT and John  ~~~ We usually find when a

VW service  / Some have friends who have parts sites that they are trying to
protect, there are also those who are just Plain Jealous / Some parts site
owners  also use  a alias email address to submit a sales pitch to the talk
groups
and they make it look like they are happy customers. <snip>
Good afternoon, Don. Since I am not in the parts business nor am I affiliated
with people in the parts business, then I assume this portion of your posting
is not addressed to me. My point is simply to support another listees opinion
that vendors who post w/o real addresses or phone numbers should be
scrutinized further. That opinion has not changed. You have answered my question with
regard to your true location. It's just a pet peeve that many "globally"
targeted companies do not have true addresses posted.

I spend no less than $10K per year on automotive parts and service. While
that may not be much relative to many retailers, it is enough to garner some
attention from a select few. However, that attention does not wander in those
e-tailers that I cannot identify readily. I'm sure there are others have no
problem with 800's and email access only. Neither do I. I just like to know who I am
dealing with. Does that make any sense?

OK, I'm rambling now.
