Companies would be foolish not to reach out to those writing and blogging about them. It's a chance to approach folks in a non-sales arena and in the spirit of solving the customer's (or more importantly, the POTENTIAL customer's) problems.

Terry - I can definitely see myself smacking the guy as well, but I have learned to hold back those bad emotions as I have gotten older. But I do think it would of felt good right up to the moment, the cops put me in cuffs. :) Thanks for the comments.
