    For the record though I do apologize for using the clients name, from what I understand the client has resolved the issues with the company. It is absolutely not company policy to publicly discuss clients and it will not happen again.

    With all due respect to those of you that have criticized the company's response, why do you feel its reasonable for someone to publicly trash a company's name and image and the company has no right to respond and tell their side of the story?

    Dante, Would strongly recommend you talk to your rep about your shirts. Don't settle! If they are not the way you want them she/he will take care of it right away.

    http://www.dispatch.com/live/content...1_CQAGT1V.html Check out the story above. Astor and Black does not pay people to post on forums. Cigarettes allegation is both false and misleading. If Cigarette really was a customer all he has to do is contact his local sales representative and any...
