And to that end, William Davis with credentials let those that so have their
good experience post there good experience but shut up and let the guys who
have bad experiences post theirs too.
You see, your a classical salesman. Don't want to hear the bad stuff,
especially when it's about stuff you use, but your very willing and open to
take on comments, gestures, and protocol, that fills you up with pride in
your decision to buy the gear you chose.
Think about it for a moment. When was the last time somebody got in here
and posted "good stuff" you know like, "wow, i just bought this gear and
it's great, here's the list . . ." The average guy who isn't having trouble
works quietly in the background and seldom visits groups like this unless
they have something to sell, or a heck of a lot of time on there hands, or
they have a vested interest in making their story heard. The latter is
mine, I certainly don't have the time (although I must or I wouldn't be
doing it huh?) nor anything to sell (for if I did I'd put those credentials
and contact information huh?) and so I just want people who are looking for
gear to realize that when they hear Apple/Mac as the best solution, that
they at least have their eyes open so that they can't complain when they get
a wrotten apple :o)
