It's interesting... some shop owners underestimate the power of the internet community, and in the end they pay the price for treating people badly.
Last night I was reading the old RX-7 Club archives -- posts from 2000 and 2001, which is when the current version of the RX-7 Club was just starting (the first two versions died in the Flame Wars of 1999 and 2000). Anyway, in 2000 and 2001, people were starting to complain about Hayes Rotary and Mazdas And More, and we know what happened to them.
The word spreads quickly on the internet. Bad customer service, lies, and deceit may have worked in the old days, but ever since the internet websites got started, the word spreads too fast for a business to control. The lesson to be learned in this episode is that the flow of information cannot be controlled, and an unethical business will pay the price.
History is very interesting.
Well done, Allan.

^^^What he said.
I often wonder why anyone who frequents a community as small as this one (rotary), would attempt to conduct business in a less then appropriate manner all the while expecting no consequences for thier actions. The affore mentioned companies should have realized this from the past problems and or mistakes and learned from it, instead of becoming part of the aggregate domino effect of companies whom continue to have thier reputation tarnished by poor customer service, less then average quality, and the "my product will last just long enough for the check to clear the bank" attitude.
Congratulations, it really is a win for us all.

The problem with some people is that they get greedy. So an honest days pay for an honest days work isn't worth the effort to them. They cut out part of the work but not the price. They make a better profit but cut there market and put themselves out of cutsomers. Some customers want to cut the price but not cut the work to be done for them. They put good business and employees out of work.
If you want quality, pay for quality. If someone pays for quality, deliver quality.

You know thats ok....the sad thing is the more that is deleted or closed, the worse things look. Problems just don't go away because they are not seen. Its now pretty obvious they still feel this is no fault of theirs even after the court ruled against them.
