An observation and comment on provided screws.

on of screws that come with a product are getting cheaper and cheaper. I am= stripping the threads of almost every screw that I try to use. They not on= ly seem to be made of weak metal but are usually too short or slightly too = thin for the job. If I don=92t have my own boxes of screws with me when in= stalling something I almost always have to make a special trip to the hardw= are store. It wasn=92t like this before. You could at least depend on the s= crews that came with a product. It=92s getting so that sometimes I don=92t = even bother opening the package of screws and use my own. If the manufactur= ers are getting that cheap they should just stop including the screws and s= ave all of us the bother.

Tell it to the goddamned manufacturers in NA who are making piss pots full = of money from either buying cheap crap from China or locating their factories there. Buy from Western firms or suffer the use of these inferior products.
