I don't think that most of us would object to the use of a pen name IF the

post had contained some information on WHY you were slamming Martin.  For 
the most part, we don't need a pseudonym when we complain.  I told our 
Strand Sales Rep right to his face that I liked his product (he was trying

to sell me a 300 series console) but that I would never buy one until
their 
service in our area got a whole lot better than it was.  I am living proof

that Strand didn't put out a contract on me as a result of my lack of
tact!

As a group of technically inclined folks, we want to know what exactly is 
wrong.  Are lamps blowing for no reasons? Are the optics inconsistent from

unit to unit? Are the shutters failing to index? Is the service rep unable

to fix a problem?  As they say in the National Inquirer ads, "Inquiring 
minds want to know, we want to know!"  With information we can compare
your 
experiences with ours and perhaps even suggest a fix.
