In the internet era the only way to find a reliable company or product is input from the internet community. While I agree that multiple posts complaining about the exact same thing can be a bore; warning people about predators and bad quality products is a service. The advice to only use proven vendors is counterproductive as new products and new vendors are both the future (and the past) of a growing and evolving market. Z1, Ash, Powertrix were all new once. Innovation and new or better products can come from anywhere. Our only guide is the feedback from first-users. Keep those gripes (and praise) coming!
