Personally -- I don't want to see "vendor" reviews -- or sponsor reviews...
If I want to "check out" a shop or supplier - it's real easy on here for me to PM or email folks that have done business with them. I've PERSONALLY DISCOURAGED folks when I've seen a post about what they're thinking or about who they're thinking of using etc. It was real easy with a PM.
I think it will bring out the WORST -- and start a bunch of dissension on what for me - is the best board on the planet... (have to thank Al Moreno for that one of these days
)
Let's just use the post by Fessler about the Mustang that broke in two.... and people start posting crap and then people take sides etc.... HATE THAT KIND OF STUFF... If I want to read that kind of stuff I can go to "chevy talk" or somewhere like that...
