I can only surmise that the thread was locked because...

A) There is no resolution that can be had between the parties discussing it. Since there was no representation from an employee of Real Speed Parts, the problem could not be solved. It was basically a huge debate over nothing

B) While Real Speed Parts is not a registered vendor with TR, vendor bashing is generally frowned upon. This is to be fair to all business' in the area, especially those unable to defend themselves.
