Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Watch what you post...

Hi Jon and all,
I respectively disagree. I don't think anyone on this list should be afraid
to speak the truth. If some vendor out there is selling junk, then I would
like to know it before I spend MY money. Same for a vendor who has poor
customer relations -- I appreciate knowing that. So, let's not hog-tie
anyone. I want to know from your experience. That is how I learn.
