Russ,

Many of those who voiced indignation that you would have received a part that was so poorly made were Americans. That would seem to be a bit out of character for citizens of a whole country with poor quality control, doesn't it? For not wanting to ruffle feathers, coloring a whole nation with such a broad stroke seem a rather odd thing to do. Most who are concerned with the effect that they have on others are a bit more measured with the words they use.

Regards,
Lynn
