Steve - take a deep breath and step AWAY from the keyboard.

You also said in your post, "I have made a complaint to the BBB about ADG and
TIE-FAST (aka Sierra Stream and Mountain, in Chico ca)." As Scott said, your
beef isn't with ADG, but with the store that allegedly forced you to buy the
incorrect size.

Where did I alleged that the stored forced me to buy the incorrect size?
The problem is with the neoprene booties. The problem has nothing to do
with the waders being tight in the stomach. ADG rescinded my warranty
because TIE-FAST claimed I insisted on buying the waders.
A) tie-fast lied
B) the holes in the feet have nothing to do with the waders being tight
in the stomach.

This is entirely a warranty issue of waders less than 6 months old with
a 5 year warranty that has been voided by the manufacturer. If ADG had
said "ok, send in your waders and we will give you a new pair of the
same sized waders" I would not be unhappy. The fact that ADG rescinded
the warranty makes them a part of this. I sent them a email saying that
A) TIE-FAST did not tell the truth about my "insisting" on getting the
waders
B) the problems with the waders were all bellow the waist
C) I also gave them the name of the person at Fish First who looked at
the waders, and confirmed that it is a manufacturer issue.



My recommendation would be to forget about it, and never give
any of your money to that shop again. Make sure your next set of waders are
nice
and loose, do some bending in them when you try them on, and go with a brand
like Simms or Orvis, although if you buy them too small you'll end up with
the
same problem.

BTW, I wouldn't have thought about Scott's
"trade-them-for-the-wrong-size-and-sell-them" gambit, but I'm not a devious
asshole troll.

You'll probably feel a lot better in a week when your period is over.

Hmmmm. . . harboring some ill-will toward the fairer sex, are we? This is post
number two where you've attempted to insult someone by comparing them to a
woman. If Cyli or Snake get a hold of you. . . shiver.

I love them (women), just don't think we should share the same set of

Hmmmm. No, there's no point in taking on someone who doesn't know the
difference between having a period and PMS. Or who blames too much
on either of them. They're going to be mildly bewildered a lot, at
best. Someone who thinks it's okay to say, '...period is over.'
because it's not as gross as, '...off the rag.' is not fair game.
Same mindset, but making their best attempt at being a sensitive new
age guy.

However, they're often useful if one's car breaks down. When they're
done with it, a proper mechanic can find a lot to blame the problems
on.

Yup.

They called me up today, I came in, and they gave me a new pair of
waders.

Now I'm confused on what lesson we all learned:
1) Good things come to those who wait.
2) Patience is a virtue.
3) The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Which do you think, Steve?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself now? :-)

I'm kidding. You felt you were wronged, and you took steps to make it
right. There's nothing to be ashamed of about that (within limits).

I'm curious, though. Did posting your complaints on ROFF and elsewhere
have any effect? I hope not, because I don't want to see every FF
consumer complaint become a ROFF cause.

No, although I think I made a mistake in not having a third party go in
and try to work things out. I was very emotional about the issue, they
were very emotional, I was friends with the owner before this, it is too
things turned out like they did.

Then in that case, no it did not have any effect.
