Good point. I forgot about the Haier acquisition. While I was pleased with this particular purchase, my ability to trust any brand in general has been diminishing with age and each new betrayal of that trust. I have a growing heuristic that is (at least in part) inversely related to number of employees and the time a company has been publicly traded.
