Fellow List Members,
What, exactly, was the point of this rant, and how is it helpful to this
list?
Does Mr. Cardo have some sort of personal beef with Bus Depot? If so,
shouldn't this personal business be handled off line?
I have no stake in the Bus Depot other than wanting to have them around for
future purchases. I have only placed one, and maybe two, orders with them.
They have been loyal supporters of this list and this community.
Why is Mr. Cardo trying to blemish their reputation? I would hope that in
the future all members of this list will be mature enough to take care of
their dirty laundry in private.
My 2¢.
Cheers,
Bruce
