autospec, While I don't know the complete story, I certainly understand the motivation that one uses to just "do it themselves"!
I have had varying results with VPI in the past. The main phrase, "varying results", is something that really should not be an issue from a 40 year old company.
They are NOT proactive when any sort of issue comes up regarding a product that has, for one reason or another, had a manufacturing issue or has been discontinued after 6 months in production......They should have some sort of database in place that can email folks that have "registered products" to automatically inform them of an issue. This is the least they should do. Instead, they rely on the loyal customers to email their own stories into their website.
I wish I could run a business this way and feel good about it!
