Andy,
I'm sorry, but posting the persons email address is NOT appropriate (at least not on this website). If we allowed it, just imagine how many others would need to be posted whenever someone had a beef against something. We really don't want to be associated with that kind of behavior.

As much as I disliked the algorithem, I think Dave has done a great job trying to explain that the supplier failed to, and refused to meet the customers (FIRST) requirements.

As in business, that supplier should not be used again, if what David has stated is correct, and I have no reason NOT to believe him.
If I ran FIRST, I'd not ask him to return and I'd throw out the algorith never using it again.

We all understand where the "buck stops", I'm sure that they learned something themselves this time and we will not see a repeat next year.

Thanks Dave for trying to clear up what happened. I appreciate knowing this.
