So I must ask, why would a person tell people to buy something
different than he bought and has had no problems with over the last
3.5+/- years and to buy from another DEALER DEALER DEALER? And why
would he see himself as "royally screwed" by me?

Some people are just that way. OTOH, Gary has been helpful with water
treatment questions on this group for a few years. Seems like you've been
straightforward with answers no matter the brand of softener or where they
bought it.
