Agreed.

For those who want to do a full checkout of how to set up band saws I recommend you go to youtube and check out Alex Snodgrass's bandsaw clinic. He works for a band saw accessory manufacturer and specializes in woodwork but most of his tips and tricks apply equally to metalwork.

PS - I was hoping that you were referring to straightening a bent frame - the previous owner of the saw I just bought obviously left it fully tensioned with a heavy blade in it for some time as the upper support is in line with the blade when full up and over 10mm away from the blade when down near the table. Naturally the ebay photos did not show this. I am looking at making a wedge shaped version of the standard height insert that will move the upper frame forward while the angle kicks the top guide post back to true vertical.
