Default Foley Engines responds to the BBB

To both current responders, perhaps this, from the morgan mailing list, will
help put it in perspective - I have no expectations, whatsoever, of hearing
from them again, and, as noted in other posts, have long since eaten any
loss...

I have never done business with this guy but I have with guys just like him.
Its thanks to guys like you that we can be spared the experience and steer
clear of them. Don't let the blowhard worry you with his "I am gonna set my
lawyers on you" attitude. it will never happen.
Thanks!

Yah, I know. There's no way any lawyers were involved, cuz no lawyer would
mistake slander (I've *spoken* to very few on the subject; the likelihood
that such verbal reports would have reached his ears is infinitesimal,
particularly, had the few who've *heard* about it from me would have
attacked me on the spot if they were a rabid supporter) for libel :{))

OTOH, there are many like you who have either confirmed my experience, or
commented about their benefit from it.

That won't do anything to interrupt or otherwise diminish their business,
obviously, as there are still legions who will search for diesel suppliers,
get Foley as a reference, see their impressive web page(s) and not go
further to investigate comments/reports on experiences with those found...

I have to say, as I told Lydia yesterday, that this is the most fun I've had
in a while, well worth the $100 extra I paid over my original quote. I
would RELISH having an actual summons - and, since I'm going to be in the NE
in July, perhaps I'll pay them a visit and give them the opportunity
VBSEG, as they won't send a server to the Caribbean, or even to N. GA
where I'll otherwise be :{))

And, the lousy experience WRT the banjo bolts (my error, of course, based on
an assumption from the NEW [not rebuilt] injectors I had in spares) aside,
the injectors work, fit (of course), and have seemed to have had a very
beneficial effect on my consumption. I probably would have saved a little,
perhaps a lot, if they just needed servicing rather than rebuilding, by
using the 2-hours-away folks I had started with in my search, but I didn't
have to go through it (the travel and uncertainty as to their ability to
make it happen without sending them off to their rebuild shop).
