This isn't the first nor the last time they will deal with these types of claims by end user, and the more people want to brag about their lives on the internet the harder they will fall once reality hits.

Rule one of anything on the web: if you don't want it discovered or traced back to you, don't post about it. The internet never forgets.
Over the years I have told 6 people on here to pull their threads and any other info they may have posted elsewhere. Of those 6, three did so right away (they had a mod delete the whole thing) and three said "screw you I know what I am doing" like this guy did. In the end there were 3 guys that ended up getting the work done under warranty and 3 that didn't. Anybody want to guess which ones won? Now in fairness the 3 that did win also had completely legit claims that were winnable as long as they didn't say anything that could be twisted around so pulling the threads may have had no impact in the long run. Broadcasting your plan and all your details never work well in a court though.
