I made a few postings to some of these groups looking for some help. My
problem is not with the help I got from these groups( it was generally
quite good) but from the amount of spam I now get from Chineese mold
makers now. If most of the work is already going to China. Why do they
continually need to cheat? Does anyone really answer this spam? It
alway seems to come from a female (which I doubt really is) with an
American sounding first name. They seem to have no problems getting
past my spam blocker. I'll get several e-mail from the same company
they just change the female first name. The message is alway in broken
english. Why isn't there a backlash against these firms. They seem to
cheat on so many levels, currency manipulation and intellectuall
property stealing. My customers would drop me in a second if they
thought I was not conducting myself in anyway that was not above board.
My quality has to be perfect, they want you to be ISO QS 9000
certified, and I forced to jump through all these hoops. Is the rule
that as long as your the cheapest anything goes? Many of my customers
tell me they are mandated to send a certain amount of work to China.
Even if I can show them that is does not nessesarily make good economic
sense. They say their hands are tied. I'd love to hear some other
thoughts on this.

Mark,
I get these Spam emails too. I use Thunderbird, I simply click to make an email filter and have their messages Marked as Read when downloaded. I don't feel like I am in competition with China at all. Chinese molds speak for themselves, cheap, cheap, cheap. In time this too will pass. I remind my customers that Chinese laws do not make these companies recognize US Trademarks, Intellectual Property or anything else that may be legal or illegal here in the States. I know of several companies who have had their entire product lines and designs stolen after being sent to overseas. The risk of losing all is theirs to take. If they choose to go "cheap" then I wish them well. The foundry I worked at for 18.5 years did exactly that, the front office bean counters pointed to the bottom line and saw nothing more but the gold star they could earn by finding a cheaper mold source. Those same *front office bean counters* are still unemployed today since making such shrewd suggestions, the company relocated the foundry there and laid these clowns off. They cut a deal with the devil and are paying for it now. The universe has a way of dealing with these types, eventually they too will be ground up and spit out...
