All I see is the one side of the story. I did notice that the letter
to Ms. Valentine said "..replace the top cover". It didn't say,
"replace it if you won't charge me for it", it just said replace it.
I'm at a loss as to why the owner would care about a scratch in an
area that won't be seen when the unit is in use. The whole thing
sounds pretty odd to me and I have to wonder just who was rude first.
Maybe this "long time owner" doesn't know how to turn on the advanced
logic setting on the new one.
