Its sad. This is the second time I've hear of folks going into the |
| 32 |
installer channel asking them about things/offering help and |
| 33 |
suggestions, then getting kicked and flamed. It has certainly put a |
| 34 |
black eye on the installer project from my point of view. Seems like |
| 35 |
they are more afraid of someone else coming up with a better idea that |
| 36 |
having an *open* view on the project. |
