I am not gonna be the one to say you can or can't but if it ain't liked it can be deleted init?

I generally give good feedback to names and bad feedback can be PM'd to those who ask for names.
No I don't actually but that's my intention (sometimes).
I see nothing wrong in naming the kits and saying what you feel about them.
Suppliers need the opportunity to defend themselves in my view.

Well we (Woody) does a lot of bowls on here and we (Brian) also have a lot to say about he quality of the kits. We (Neil) know everything there is to know about wood and we (Alex) have the biggest chainsaw in the world. We (Brody) make things out of things others throw out and we (Jim) run a fantastic show here. WE (all) have the best forum there is and you are welcome to join in and ask question, show us your stuff and join in with the general banter. As soon as the sedation kicks in everything will seem fine... just beware, once you're in, you can't leave.... WhaHAHAHAHA.

Oh... welcome Steve.

Oh, nearly forgot... The chairman Plonker, Terry, the kitless pen wizard, David, Dan the kit supplier, Ed who likes to dress up, Matt who is the youngest member now (I have to say that because it makes Alex angry) Peter from down Under, Sandra from across the pond and many more excellent people who I haven't mentioned because I've got fed up typing.
