Nothing personal, Buzz,
but John needs Us a hell of a lot more than we need him.
Kvetching here about no-good customers guarantees people that are curious about his wares don't call.

We know what he thinks of us already.

I was just trying to be polite in my earlier post.

But now that the cat is out of the bag, well, John's laments on an open forum hurt his business.

There's no conspiracy to censor him, but three is certainly a well intended wish that he would stop, if only for his own business' sake.

Out there doing it best I can.
