I can understand your wanting to alert tut publishers to the fact that some people might prefer it if the supplies were listed in the tutorial "What You're Getting" page, but there's a MUCH better way to go about it than throwing a hissy. You can speak up without coming across the way you did in your original post.
How about
:
I just purchased a few tutorials and love the information I received, but would like to offer a suggestion to the authors. Can you please specify in the ad which COE is to be used and if there are any specialty glass or tools that I need to make this piece?
Much better than:

"I'm so frustrated!!! I just purchased a bundle of three tutorials, was really excited about the content of them -- right up until I read the first one. It unexpectedly requires/recommends non-104 COE glass.
ummm...Did you tell us about this and I just missed it? I was under the impression, since nothing else was stated (that I saw, anyway) that these tutorials were made using COE 104 glass.
Finally had a chance to start reading, and the first one I opened up, "Small Shells" lists Bullseye glass rods, and then some strips of Spectrum sheet glass. YIKES!! That would have been a complete deal-breaker for me, had I known about it before making a non-refundable purchase.
I'm sorry if this is offensive, but I don't think that this is a fair thing to do. I had planned on asking questions before purchasing any more tutorials, after buying several that require/recommend TERRA. Suggesting a glass that is not even in production without giving advanced warning is not my idea of fair business practices, and neither are the materials that are recommended in this Small Shells tutorial. I'm really kicking myself for not asking, but unfortunately, I just expected a higher ethical standard from these particular authors."

For shiz? Just because they didn't say which glass you're supposed to use, their ethics are being called into question?
