I also feel for CC, they provide a great product line, and appear to treat their customers well with warranty claims.

On the flip side, those who know no better are most likely the main segment that are claiming warranties. Most of my equipment has faired fine, except for a certain battery brand! I know how to use the stuff, and do research too, a trait that most of us here share. Most other people do not do this and work on the trial and error!
