Dean is very near the essence here.
In fact, the entire rationale for the original post baffles me. If YOU have a bad experience, man-up and deal with it. Don't post your trepidations on the PGCA forum, secret the shop's name, and thereby cast a shadow of doubt on scores of good 'smiths, who might now suffer because of your urge to share indecision.
If you want to point fingers, or cast aspersions, do it on that other BBS, well known for its sewage.
PGCA should remain above all that.
