With all due respect, Wouldn't "Suggest Avoiding ClassicParts Distributors", and "I in no way meant to bash or trash the name", be considered in literal contradiction of each other.
I do believe that you don't want to trash a vendor. I am guessing that you were hot under the collar when you started this thread, which is understandable.
Maybe you could change the title to something which better fits your situation with out mentioning a specific vendor by name.
I can find fault with parts from every parts suppliers out there. Parts don't fit, parts don't work, parts too expensive, ETC.
I bring these problems to light in here when I encounter them.
I just prefer not to call them out by name, even though I am tempted. I do steer people towards vendors who do have a good version of a part which other vendors do not carry.
My 2 cents. (Maybe an overcharge.)
