Let's hope it was like a new Range Rover or something, after the posts complaining about service at car dealerships.

Here's an idea - use sarcasm man! If service is slow - say "I was 'extremely pleased' with the service which took 1 hour instead of the expected 10 minutes." If customer service is rude - say "I have no doubt that someone, somewhere appreciates the 'wonderful job' the customer service representatives are doing at this fine establishment. Customer service like this is truly hard to find." If the onions are cut wrong - say "Although my preference is for a few onions diced into small pieces, I was 'pleasantly surprised' to find that this sandwich shop cut them laterally into longer strips that I'm sure others would enjoy. ... you get the idea. Yeah - tell us who it was!

I read this blog because I feel related to the posts it includes, be it technology, photography, information, Geo or links. And the "complaining" part won't change a thing... at least to me. So Hello again the good ol' Mark :) Hello Mark!

to me, you’re not new.

It's not like it's a pointless vendetta, the idiots at these big companies are either simply not listening or not doing anything about it! Why should we be forced to put up with needless headaches and avoidable errors? Blogs are the 'thorn' in many Corporates 'sides.' This blog has proved that even the little man's voice can make a difference. I'm personally disappointed with Mark's decision; as it will only help to bolster the image of the 'don't speak until your spoken to' attitiude - which exists so prevelantly in the region.

Other people have written reviews (myself included) of products from much larger and powerful companies and never gotten into any trouble. On the contrary, they usually send free samples of their "newer" and "better" versions of the products tested. What gives?
