BUSINESS CLOSING - Shop & Office Equipment FS

Dear ralplas.aol

I am, what is referred to as a, "newbie" here. I only started last week with a question about an old lathe which I inherited. That is not to say I haven't frequented these types of groups. Being a former Air Force and later general aviation pilot, I belong and contribute to several flying and flight simulator groups.

In my brief time here I found that this group of people these ladies and gentlemen to be very helpful, considerate and down to earth. In reading several posts, these guys take the time to explain simple, rudimentary facts and techniques that I know are second nature to them.

As I see it, you came in here uninvited and tried to sell something. These groups are meant to exchange knowledge, not to act as a merchant's venue. You did not say where the equipment was located, which seems strange and invited speculation. Then you get your panties all tie up in a knot over alleged insults; totally forgetting your original purpose - to sell equipment. Sorry, but you don't sound to wise to me.

Lastly, I too am from the South! We southern boys like to be considered friendly and helpful. You are blemishing the entire south with you belligerent attitude. So, I suggest that you are the one who should apologize or, if you don't like the way you are being treated, the door is right behind you. Take it!

Who are you talking to, Ralplas? You didn't include any context. Again. Good luck with your business failure. And you didn't mention you were in North America until last post, despite being asked several times.

Now, do you think that was a nice thing to do to the .cnc group?

Oh, they can handle guys like this just fine and judging from the general content there these days, I'd venture they'd even welcome a fresh topic for spleen venting...
