I agree. A boycott would send the message of "You can't please these people
no matter what" -- not a message that's conducive to change.

Certainly, it would have been best if the company had not had any problems to
begin with. But it's not a perfect world; the next best thing is that they
speedily and effectively correct those problems. And have the corrections
checked and reported on by other agencies, of course.

Cheers,
