It is once again time to remind Forum Members/Newbies and all posters that when posting a question to Moderators or to specific sections like Mike Eldred's column or any other parts of this Fender Forum.

The question and response must be polite, shoveling your gripes at someone, posting inflammatory attacks and just plain rudeness will not get your issue resolved, far from it, it only causes the intended recipient to shelve the reply and attend to other's who understand that they are not the most important person or all that.

I myself have had some concerns over a product and called a companies customer relations to resolve a problem...
Being polite, to the point has always been received with a reply that enabled me to have the issue resolved...It is not always instant and often times there is a local network to address before the main corp.

The point is that if you want to insult Fender employee's or reps or for that matter anyone affiliated with Fender on this Forum.......Keep this in Mind.....( if it isn't too difficult )

This Forum is NOT your Forum, it is NOT my personal Forum, it is NOT anyone's own personal Forum, it is everyone's community Forum and dumping on someone publicly reflects on everyone else. There could be a point where someday Fender will say Enough is Enough and shut it down..
I seriously hope that day doesn't arrive, but with the personal attacks I have read in the past I'm sure patience may be thinning out....

This is after all a Forum for musicians, to bounce ideas back and forth, seek advice, share pics,stories etc..etc...basically be a community....Sometimes the topic becomes argumentative but civility must rule.

A Civil Community is much more fun to be a part of than an anarchistic Community...

Thanks All

Quite some time past there was an individual who was unhappy with a Custom Shop Strat, set about modding and replacing the nut, then got into it at ME on how inferior the Custom Shop guitars were and on and on. He pretty much made an arse out of himself in ht process however you could read that ME was just about out of patience....

There has been other's more recently, a quick search should dig them up fairly easily, especially if the threads are locked....

Not I....Mike Eldred was the recipient of the posters misplaced wrath which really should have been directed at himself for being really stupid.
