I'm sure we can come up with a number.

To date, since the start of these Vendor Listings back in 2003, there has 
been only one complaint that I can remember lodged/emailed to the 
webmaster at linux.ie address asking for the removal of a vendor from the 
listings.
I won't go into the details BUT the reason for delisting the vendor was
confirmed by at least a few members, probably three or four.

We could have a grading system in place where at least one star (out of five) 
means that a vendor has some recommendation and no stars means either 
'close to being delisted' or 'listed by testimonial, not on ILUG member 
recommendation'.
