the reason I got pissed off about this thread is the "not naming names" BS. It causes huge amounts of irritation all around, from vendors who check their records to verify that they haven't done business with the company to fellow lampworkers who feel somewhat used by it. If you aren't going to ID who you are pissed at, why the hell bother?
It's like this: I just read a really lousy book. The plot was totally derivative, the characters were flat, and there wasn't an original thought in the whole darned thing. I kept reading it in the hopes that it would improve. It didn't. I wish I could have those hours of my life back. I'm not going to name it, though...
What the hell was the point of that paragraph?
(Prison Ship by Michael Bowers-don't even check it out from the library-total waste of time and money.)
