Those are mighty strong words. Let me say that I have not bought ANYTHING
from Dean, so I cannot be a shill. He seems to have some stuff that other
vendors don't carry. Some of it looks darned good. I have heard some
issues with Dean, but I have heard similar issues with ALL of the vendors.
All of the vendors serve a purpose.
I will close with one rhetorical question - is it better to use a shill from
time to time, or to prostitute a business on the list on a regular basis? I
have heard charges of the latter on this list as well.
Caveat Emptor.
