Yes, I read your response correctly.
You said -

"Progressive should be correct with their quoting. If they are not, shame on them."

Stating "IF" they are not correct as if there is some question when in fact they admitted twice that they were not correct in their quoting.

"The complaining by the Mass. agents is because they finally have competition. Sure is hard to compete now that everyone does not have the SAME PRICE!"

Again, it is not fair competition when one of the giants advertises on national television how you can compare their quotes to other insurers and then drastically overinflate the competitive rates.

"Would you like some more "whine" with your cheese?" - to me it sounds like the Mass. agents have a very valid point and are not "whining" but are asking for obviously needed correction to the unfair practices of Progressive. Once Progressive proves their rating comparisons are accurate then there will be true competition.

Another thing I've seen online comparisons do is quote all the available discounts in their premium and then comparing the rate to the non-discounted rate of the competition which is also wrong.

If a competitor setup shop next door to you and then made untrue claims about your business would you be "whining" if you tried to set the record straight? I think not.
