[Electronics-talk] Important message to avoid being taken advantage of

[Christopher Chaltain]

I've seen similar complaints on this MP3 player from several sources
over the last few months, so it isn't just Laz reporting this, and I can
see where he'd want to make sure that his MP3 players don't get tainted
with the same bad press. Besides, I can just delete Laz's messages if I
wanted to. Personally, I'd rather read Laz's messages than have to
delete your rants against Laz which don't add anything to the list.
