In Response To: Yeah, compromising sucks. (Brian Nystrom)

: I hate it when companies set (seemingly) arbitrary rules about product
: configurations. Perhaps the thing to do is call back and ask "Why
: not?" until they either give you a satisfactory reason or give in and
: build the suit the way you want it. Work your way up the command chain
: until you get to the top, if need be. Their line seems to be little more
: than a basic suit that's offered with several option packages. Yikes, it's
: almost like buying a car! Keep pushing and who knows, maybe they'll cave
: under the pressure.

I may just do that. Who knows maybe they might have loosened up somewhat. Maybe I can dangle some sort of carrot in front of them to do what I want... especially since it is my butt sitting in the suit... not theirs.

: BTW, I got one company to make me some custom products by promising not to
: tell anyone about them.

Very clever! I would not have expected less from you.

Safe Paddling!
