Curl,
I guess I should have been more to the point in my last post. In this conversation I am speaking about, it was not simply a passing of the same urban legend as it pertains to the side plates of L.C. Smiths. It was stated that from vast personal experience taking them apart and inspecting them, that he learned this. Now if your told something you know isn't true, and the person who's saying it says he's seen it time and time again and backs it up with his vast experience with them, would this not cause a red light to go off?
It sure did for me. Nothing personally against them, as they are very polite and I enjoy looking at their site, but after that conversation, I have made the decision to not buy from them. To perpetuate something that is a false when in the same breath you say how your someone with knowledge on these things won't fly with me.
This may seem like a rather small detail to base my decision on, but I am fickle about whom I deal with. Once something goes awry in any deal, I am very leary of ever doing any business again with that person. Your mileage may very...to each his own...etc...
