No Robert and that was my point about respect.... if you said something...
I would believe it....
my problem is that occasionally there are customers that no man can
satisfy... and I in no way shape or form am implying that you might be one

bothers me to think that folks will respect his opinion rather then
recognizing him for what he is...
