I don't know the reason or legalities behind the Whitinger's original sale of DG but I'd just hate to see our Green Pages end up with a lot of negativity and hateful remarks.
I do understand that when we spend our hard earned money, we want what we feel we are paying for but some people that have bad experiences with vendors seem to get nasty with their words and accusations and try to get others to add fuel to the fire. I recall reading a review somewhere once (don't recall the website) but the original complainer (who did seem to have a legitimate complaint to begin wit) could not be pacified or placated, no matter how much the vendor apologized and tried to make it right! I remember one vendor even reimbursing the complainant but that person kept posting very negative comments.
I enjoy having the Green Pages to post my recommendations when I have good experiences with companies. If I'm considering purchasing from a company that is not listed in the GP's, I can (and have) asked on a Forum if anyone has ever ordered from said company and if so, could they please send me a tree mail and let me know their experience. Last year, I asked on a thread about a Vendor that I was thinking of purchasing a particular plant from and another member sent me a tree-mail letting me know that they had lots of extra of the plant in question and was willing to share with me!
