RE: [cobalt-users] Warning About Vendors

["Edward R. Milstein" <eddie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Geez...  I thought this post was fine...  Man, people are tough on this
list and I have been on many over my years..  All Bill was trying to do
was get the said vendor to own up or be warned that they would be
exposed...

That was my take and seemed totally appropriate..  It was not personal,
it was not toward all vendors, it was out of frustration...
