[grc] NEED A CLEARINGHOUSE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR Radio Shack Replacements (from) WHERE do DIY'ers go for your electronic parts now that insane management killed Radio Shack ?

[Max]

Good for Needham MA!

This gives me an idea, however!

We need a centralized place to exchange Radio Shack replacement sources!

And make sure that the Radio Shack management never works at anything above
a janitorial position ever again!

So help me think of the name of a Facebook page for us to gather this
information and shame and Blacklist the Radio Shack management!

What they've done to the DIY community is far worse then the many silly
crimes for which people are never able to find decent employment after!

Every name I think of for a Facebook page is too clumsy.

"Radio Shack Replacements and Box Up RS Management" or whatever...

Sincerely, Max
