Re: "We seem to have a policy of not naming offending vendors on this list, but should we?" Good question, Jane. What does it accomplish if we just state we had a problem with some unknown (unstated) entity? Are we not an organization to support each other and share information to potentially benefit all members? We don't hesitate to name and laud sources that we have good interactions with. Why should it be different with sources with which we have poor interactions? It is not condemning a source, it is just stating the quality of an interaction, which could be good or be poor, even if it's the same source. Personally, I find it very helpful to know which companies provide consistently good services/products over time, and which do not. That's my two bits. I'm sure there will be different opinions, but I think it is a topic worth pursuing.
