Self-delusion?

What makes you sure this guy didn't send a similar email to a dozen dealers, hoping to hit the jackpot somewhere?

Yeah, it makes him a cheeseball probably, but that doesn't make you the One True Savior of all things audio.

I'm sure you told him to eff off.

You really need to excavate that large chip on your shoulder and start READING what people on this thread have to say. Too many negative stories, too many criticisms of your style, too many to ignore. I don't recall seeing this sort of thing about any of your contemporaries who enjoy national fame (and notoriety, as in subject at hand) among the audio cognoscenti.

There are several of those who enjoy a great reputation across the country and on these boards... Wally, Bill Baker, Venus, Galen Carol, to name only a few. Every one of my locals in Atlanta is extremely gracious and usually generous with his/her time (the fine lady at Audio Alternative being an example of the women in audio, few in total, who work extra hard to earn their stripes in this male-dominated field - but that's another story).

We don't see vituperation about them here, don't hear about them telling their customers to get effed. I have dealt with several of them and they are always courteous and helpful, even on the occasions I told them upfront (ie, the first thing after 'Hello') that I wasn't likely to buy from them this time but was just needing a question answered. Guess what? They obliged, without using any effing eff words. 'Obliged' being a key term here. One day, I hope to return the favor to each of them by voting with my dollars, and have already done so with several.

Judging solely from your spelling and grammar, you did not have the benefit of a good education. Judging from your manners, you did not have the benefit of a good upbringing either. I suppose pointing this out may be bad manners in itself, but my folks would probably pardon my making this exception.
