I have used Fram on occasion and did not lose the engine so I can't claim it's a bad filter. I have watched somebody wipe out a cam when they switched brands of oil so I would be more worried about the oil. Any part can have a defect which could lead to failure so don't jump to conclusions is my point.

I don't believe that I have ever used a Fram filter, I didn't do so because of my belief that it's an inferior product. My belief comes from reading about other peoples experience and forming my opinion on that. Why would I put that, what I belief is an inferior product, on my car? I would rather read and learn on other people's mistakes than jeopardize my own car.
You claim, or at least it looks like you're, that to have an opinion about an oil filter one must first lose an engine to conclude that the filter is bad/inferior is asinine, IMO. If you believe that, and you believe that all filters are equal until one messes up our engine then so be it. However I'm not one of those people.
