I wish I knew where Mr. Fastek worked so I could contact his customer base to tell them his company may not be here in 6 months. I don't know where you get your information but you are reckless with it. These forums should be based on experiences a

Wow, you have received a lot of suggestions and opinions. Here is one more for the record. First try to improve the performance of your sub-contractor. While you are doing that start bringing in low quantities of parts to develop your in-house cap

Hi Dilbert I do not know if you meant to use the words argue in your posting, but assuming it was not sarcastic I would like to offer my point of view as an equipment supplier to people like you. First the customer is not always right but they are

Methusala was very old yet he is still talked about thousands of years later. In my perspective, age of a thread is not the issue. It is the careless resurrection of a non-active subject that causes waste of time and space that is the issue. I can

Mike: You're correct, but a newbee doesn't care. A newbee is so thankful to just get through the clutter and ACTUALLY have the thread posted [and maybe get someone to respond with something that they can use to get their boss to just shut his BIG y
