well disappointed !
Ratch, you have my sympathy...
there are plenty of "hot shots" who just have to post on every thread whether they have something useful to add or not,
i'm all for a hard honest critique but talking down to people kind of steamrollers over any quiet calm exchange of ideas for those without whatever complex it is that has them want to be ten foot taller than everybody else
(less fire and brimstone and more nurture)

IF you had asked for it made of chocolate that's your business and fear of litigation is plain short sightedness
you being the employer and the maker being the employee (just doing as he is told)

hang in there man and don't be badgered into crossing swords with them.... they wont learn because they already know everything :)
