Path: utzoo!utgpu!news-server.csri.toronto.edu!rpi!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!mips!pacbell.com!ucsd!sdcc6!ir230 From: ir230@sdcc6.ucsd.edu (john wavrik) Newsgroups: comp.lang.forth Subject: notice to car owners Message-ID: <19001@sdcc6.ucsd.edu> Date: 4 May 91 22:37:23 GMT Organization: University of California, San Diego Lines: 28 I thought that readers of this newsgroup might be interested in the following notice to car buyers from a major car manufacturer: ===================================================================== TO ALL COMPLAINING CUSTOMERS We have received complaints about "funny noises" and "bad ride" in our latest cars. We cannot deal with vague complaints. If, for example, you feel that there is a defect in our suspension system -- please identify it specifically. Be precise in stating exactly what is wrong with the suspension system, and include plans on how it should be redesigned. Unless you do this, we will ignore your complaint. (We will also ignore you if your proposed redesign is not, in every way, compatible with details of our manufacturing process -- so please make sure to study this first.) I'm sure you realize that if we spent our time listening to uninformed car owners it would impede our ability to get new cars to market as quickly as possible. ===================================================================== John J Wavrik jjwavrik@ucsd.edu Dept of Math C-012 Univ of Calif - San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093
