Re: Who is responsible; the individual or the LFS?

Frankly I believe that it is the buyer beware issue. Modern day society has the most economically sensative, and insanely spoiled people in it (myself included). We can do so much research on a topic that we belive will adversely effect us directly but don't spend the same effort on indirect items. With the advent of the internet I believe that it is our responsibilty to know what we are getting into, but on the same note it is the LFS owners and his employees responsibility to tell the truth on a question asked not to be soley motivated by the sell but to consider the buyer and they're desire to be sucsessful no matter how much of a novice they might be. To close when I go to my LFS I've already done the research on sites like this and in books and I am able to weed through the lines (and lies) he tells me and make an educated decision.

Re: Who is responsible; the individual or the LFS?

Hello All!

Let's all step up and take the responsibility that we should. THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THE BUYER! Do the research, avoid impulse buys, and leave ANYTHING, no matter how bad you want it, at the LFS if it doesn't look PERFECT. IF we all will do these three things, we should have no trouble, and no Blame/Responsibility should need to be placed on anyone but ourselves.
