      If Mr. Pee Wee's simple statement/opinion was "FLAMING" - what do you call your rambling response to him???

    Flaming Susan is inappropriate also. The crack about "electrocuting your
    child" has no place on this message board. It is insulting, rude and in bad
    taste.

    Other companies, like Outback Power, have systems designed for user
    serviceability. They can send you a new circuit board in Tahiti and you can
    repair the unit yourself.

    It is also true that Xantrex is a company that bought up all three North
    American inverter manufacturing companies and terminated much of the work in
    progress. I was left high and dry with a Trace Voyager that did not perform
    according to the published specs. Trace was working on a fix for the
    problem when Xantrex terminated all Voyager work at that point. Heart
    Interface has always been notorious for bad service.

    Maybe she should have not used so many capital letters, but that is her
    option and her opinion. Her message was not aimed at any person in this
    group. Flames are never appropriate as they lead to "flame wars" which make
    the group not worth reading.

    SERVICE TO THE EXTREME...THEY REFUSE TO SELL YOU PARTS OR TO GIVE A
    SCHEMATIC SO YOU CAN REPAIR IT YOUSELF.....NUFF SAID.

    It is inappropriate to bad mouth Xantrex. You would likely be the one that
    would sue them when you turned on your inverter and electrocuted your child
    after you "home repaired the unit".
