Re: [Digital BW] Flaking

2004-12-15 by Scott Graham

I think that Paul has a great idea, we just need to carry it slightly further and boycott 
companies that think flaking paper is customer friendly.  Afterall, we finally got cars that 
the fenders don't flake off of much anymore.

And "some tolerate it well"?  everybodies pain threshold is different.  Some actually like it 
I've heard.

So, boycott?
