Brother goes all Big Brother.
Last week, I wrote about my frustrations with the performance of my Brother printer and the lack of customer service provided by the Brother Corporation. In my last missive to the company, I informed them that I would be writing about my issues on this blog.
Over the weekend, I received a response from Customer Service. It's remarkable.
Brother Customer:

That must strike fear in your heart, Dean! And you have to wonder why they don't move resources from the Legal department to Customer Service.
I carefully reviewed your original post and believe you are in the clear. What's wrong with, "...the Brother HL-1440 sucks. Furthermore, Brother sucks.'? I think it's completely verifiable.
We have a Brother printer. It also sucks. And it's model number is MFC-something. A great choice of an acronym.
