MY BEEF has nothing to do with whether or not a part is in stock with THIS supplier. If it is out of stock and HAS BEEN re-ordered, mark it as
BACK ORDERED. If the part is out of stock and HAS NOT been re-ordered while this supplier sits on it for a while trying to decide whether or not a re-order might be profitable, mark the darned part as "
OUT OF STOCK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE"! Like I said earlier, it's not fair to the customers not accustomed to the methods of this supplier, and that take "BACK ORDERED" to mean literally that the replacement parts HAVE BEEN re-ordered and arrival is imminent! Is it really that hard to understand the difference? There's good reason why this guy has earned the infamous moniker of "Back Order Bob" over the years. DD
