I agree with what David said about BD playing the odds.  I have seen it over
and over, especially in the bigger corp. who play this game quite
frequently.  However, BD is smaller fish, except to us.  In the realm of
customer service BD is in a better that average position to view customer
reactions and comments.  In fact if I could get comments in quantity and
quality like the on ones that appear here on the list towards a huge
corporation.... One could make millions, DAILY!  I am in Phil's court,
anxiously awaiting BD response, especially when the common references appear
to be along their vital core competencies (mail order).

I agree with you, Ron.  The man has a right to his opinion and to share
it with others. There is NO slander here.  I am anxiously awaiting Bus
Depot's reply.
