Default Ad: Sterndrive Engineering Adopts Three Year Fault-free Warranty

SEI can defend themselves if they want. I'm asking what compelled you
to take time out of your life to write a 4000 word reply to a
"spammer." Have you had any real life dealings with SEI or haven't
you?


Nope...just had nothing to do until the appliances were done doing their
thing. I've had dealings with boat companies and boat dealers for many
years, all smiles and promising the moon until the contracts are signed,
then turning to the warranty's fine print to show you what's covered and
what's not...no matter what I said when we were looking at the gelcoat.

I felt this was a new and different way of discouraging the spammers from
trashing the newsgroup. It seemed to work. The only replies I got were
from others who decided he needed defending from my pointing out the
TRUTH of his WRITTEN WARRANTY off his webpage.

I wonder about the defenders. Why? What possible defense could be
necessary because someone simply posted what the company publishes as
their responsibilities to their consumers and pointing out the difference
between his "statements" and the actual warranty the judge is going to be
reading when things go awry.

Sterndrive isn't special. Read any of their warranties and it says the
same thing. We cover everything, and nothing.
