Re: "untested" PCBs...

I agree on these points. I can imagine people are reluctant to enter
negative feedback, to prevent getting the same back.

But there's a difference between NOT giving negative feedback and a HUGE
list of EXELLENT, A+++, WOULD TRADE AGAIN, FAST SHIPMENT blablabla
ect... That just don't add up to me...

For example. If everybody is unhappy with, lets say, MR X, there might
not be negative feedback, but there IS a lot of hoorays... How come?

Cya !
