I have my official moderators hat on for this post.
Recently, and even today, we have had posts about members of the forum having a crack at our suppliers about the way they conduct their business. I would remind you that the way they conduct their business is entirely up to them as it is their business and not ours. None of us know the in's and out's of what they do and why they do it, or the reasoning behind it.
It is unfair to us and to the supplier as it only provides a totally unbalanced and one sided story. We recently went into all of this and apparently a few members never read it.
The forum is not a complaint service for commercial vendors and venting your spleen at them in public is not the way this forum operates. This behavior will not be tolerated as it is totally inappropriate. If you want to have a good rant and rave..........................then run outside and shake your fist at the sky or find another forum that enjoys that sort of behavior. Or find another supplier............but whatever you do, don't bring it to this forum.
If you have a problem with any of our suppliers about the way they do business...................then talk to them about it.
This applies to all of our suppliers. GRS, Lindsay, N-Graver, Rio Grande or the tooth fairy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In saying that. It is fair to post questions about products that they make and ways of improving, fixing etc. Just keep it respectful and show a little tolerance. We have had some very fruitful and helpful discussions about printers, transparencies, fixing vices, fixing microscopes, fixing tooling etc.....................and long may that last.
Cheers
