Post #403,973 by Andrew Grygus 8/11/15 10:30:38 PM Reply	The LA Times' "Bye, Colombia House" column was not so gentle. Los Angeles Times Business Section (C2) 11 August 2015, by regular columnist David Lazarus. The company defined mail-order music for generations of shoppers, and pioneered some of the most obnoxious, misleading and hard-to-remedy marketing tactics ever inflicted on consumers And now Columbia House, bless it's evil little heart, is bankruapt.
