Yeah, well...I don't know what you're like in person, but your post
comes across as bad-tempered because your unrealistic expectations
weren't met. All I can say is, good luck.

Look, Shop Fox just ran a huge advertising campaign with Milwaukee (the
BIG red truck) at the place where I get my blades sharpened which is just
6 miles from here, exactly one month ago. I met with several of the Shop
Fox representatives and it was there that I became interested in their
products. Now, 30 days later, their stuff is nowhere to be found.

And of course, Mr. Heap Big Business Man, you tossed the cards of the
factory reps rather than adding them to your mailing list, so you can't
find them anywhere now. Oh, you didn't get the cards? Woops.

And did you _ask_ the place where you get your blades sharpened?

If not wanting to put up with arrogant receptionists and merchants that
don't want to sell a couple hundred dollars with of merchandise makes me
*bad tempered*, I'm wondering how I have managed to run my own service
business for the past 19 years.

By establishing yourself as the bad tempered service provider? Remember,
there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I'm guessing you are just in a bad mood right now Charlie.

Actually, I suspect that he's laughing at you as hard as I am.
