[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 353422, member: 2960"] I can sum up your fears with one simple phrase: [B]"The squeaky wheel gets the most oil"[/B] Nevermind that fact that the other three wheels are working just fine and with no ill effects. In other words, the amount of negative stories you see plastered all over the 'net are a minute, small representation of the entire picture. This skews the actual facts, because you don't see nearly as many positives. Here's why: Statistically, happy and satisfied people tend to share their experience with only a few people. Close friends, family, coworkers and that's about it. Happy folk are not likely to go and shout it from the mountain top for all to witness and hear. By way of contrast, [U]un[/U]happy people will tell as many people in as many ways possible about their dismay... as often as possible. They will never tire of spreading the "bad new" to any and all that will listen. They will not rest their vendetta until every living person on the face of the earth has heard their tale of woe. So, take that into consideration when you are looking at negative reviews on a product or service. [/QUOTE]
