That's why part of the Forum Rules say:
This site is designed for the exchange of information. It is not however, intended to provide members with a forum to trash one manufacturer over another. Third party experiences are discouraged, unless you were on hand to witness any problem the third party may have had with a particular machine.
Note that the word used is "discouraged" and not "prohibited", because let's face it, we all share things we've heard from someone else. It goes along with the philosophy of, "Learn from other people's mistakes, because there's not enough time to make them all yourself." We don't have time to observe all the experiences others have ourselves either, and so we repeat what we've been told, in an honest effort to share infromation.
I'm not saying Pullpan was
wrong in passing that observation along, becasue it was an honest effort at passing along an opinion he felt came from a valid source. Rather, I'm just cautioning everyone to recognize that third hand (or fourth hand, etc.), information should be viewed in it's proper perspective. (If Pullpan's source was here, we could question him directly as to why he said that. As it stands, we have only what he said, and no chance for further clarification or enlightenment, or to correct anything that may have been mis-understood.
That's what makes the experiences of a third party not necessarily carry the same weight as your own.)
