	I agree.  I have had very mixed luck with the White Labs vials and I should not have taken the chance.  The last one I had worked very well, so I was a little too trusting maybe.  It's not a big deal to make a starter and I have done it before to good effect; I'm just lazy.  I'm going to head home at lunch and dump some dry yeast in there to see if I can save it.  I'll call it Hail Mary porter if it comes out drinkable.
