Although I do not dispute your facts concerning your experience with
WWBW I do dispute your conclusions if for no other reason than they
contain two rather large logical errors.

First, there is your argumentum ad verecundiam which is not
persuasive. I earned a masters in management at a very good school
in Cambridge Mass. There I took a course in law, which I'm sorry to
say does not qualify me to practice law, nor to render judgement on
matters of law. My opinions on law should be judged accordingly.

The bigger issue though is a matter of presumption or specifically an
Accident, that is drawing a general conclusion from your specific
experience. The old saying, the exception proves the rule points to
this. I bought numerous items from WWBW over the years including my
clarinet with no problems what so ever. Is my experience any less
valid and if so what does that prove? In actuality, nothing.

WWBW has had problems in the past 2 years, but before that the company was
stellar. Great service, very helpful customer service, and some of the best
prices in the industry.

Sorry to see them go!
