Well, I accept all of the above, I never asked you to say "We once used
UbahEngine and it sucks, never use it". But by saying "In our experiance
uber engine, which we used 2 years ago, a few problems arised which made
buying the engine not worthwhile. The problems were foo and bar but might
have improved, as we gave the vendor a very detailed explination on what we
didn't like" could possibly help someone in the future.

Again, that's just my opinion, please take it with a bag of salt.

I'm sorry you took it so badly, I didn't intend that. I just gave my
opinion, which is valid. For example when you guys picked that engine,
wouldn't you have been happy if someone with experiance with that engine had
pointed out some of said flaws ?
