[TheForge] HF- what works and what doesn't

[Albin Drzewianowski]

My experience (and the reason I stopped buying from them) is
INCONSISTANCY!!!  It seemed no matter what the product, one time it was ok,
the next time it was crap.  You just never knew what you were getting and
you could not go by past experience.

The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
