I have been know to defend Mato in the past, it it is only fair I speak up for RCcommand as well. I retailed model railroad equipment , and I know how some consumers are absolutely unforgiving. There is a saying I will share with you guys. If you want to spoil your hobby, try making a business out of it!!!!!!. My dear wife finally showed me the light. Give up on the hobby business she says, just spend your money and enjoy it, so I did. The few bucks I guy makes does not make up for the unbelievable hate mail some people will send. I am sure there are days when Mato/RCcommand and others just what to throw in their cards and give up. If they do, it will be us who suffer. Look at the Flac Mato is getting over the Sherman, and for what. They haven't even taken anyone's money yet!!!!!!!.
I also am in the RR Hobby as a hobbyist only. I have seen and know that RR fans, especially in the HO scale are the most hardcore and unforgiving in any hobby. God bless anyone who has to deal with some of these people. I do not even bother frequenting RR forums for this very reason.

THere are two sides to this story, and understanding both positions, makes it easier to be rational. I will wait and see how this all turns out, before I take shots at Rccommand or another Forum member who is upset.
I will say that is probably the most fair and reasonable thing to say/do.
