Precisely.  I am sure I can dig up the mail that was tossed
back and forth on the net on the subject if you're interested.  I
think the thing that amazed me and pissed me off the most is that,
when busted, the guy trys to justify his actions, saying that since
the customer was satisfied, he was ok for selling them a $10 valve
and unchanged prom for 3 or 400 bucks.  Even now, the guy is totally
unrepentative!  If he'd come out with some sort of statement to the
effect that "hey, I screwed up, won't do it again, please forgive
me", then I think I'd let it slide and just be wary of him in the
future.  Until then, don't look to me to just forget it.

Remember, computer user's don't have to have long memorys--their
computer's handle that for them.  And when thousands of people on
the 'net are assisting you in your memory, you'll never forget.
The lesson is, don't make an idiot of yourself on the net, and if
you do, you'd better acknowledge it yourself so that discussion of
the matter becomes "old news"!
