    It’s a big company. Lots of people in lots of departments doing lots of different things. Do you swear off Samsung memory or flash because of their practices around their TV’s or refrigerators?

      If the refrigerant on my fridge leaked and they refused to fix it, I’d sure swear off their ACs too, yeah.
