Jim, it upset you that all dealers are smeared by the doings of the few bad ones.

Maybe, rather than defending the reputation of honest dealers, you should try criticizing the rip-off dealers. In some circles silence is interpreted as acceptance and agreement.

One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch (isn't that a Michael Jackson song).

Dealers should be the first and loudest to point out frauds.

Having said this, Andy and Pete need not respond since I'm not referring to them (in adition to others).
