Re: Fwd: Re: Meltdown at Carlsson

I've had similair experiences as you Ed...
I haven't used Linda in over 3 years now, and don't intend unless I
absolutley has to.  For some that lives on the west coast, and is supposed a
laid back area, Linda is FAR from it.
I've had 3 wrong CV joints shipped to me, took it forever to get my credit
card credited back again, etc.  Not to mention the attitude...
Oh well.

Later!
