Steve,
Posts like yours are why many people I know from this site are turned off by it.
I do not know you and I would never address you as "dear" and state that some such item is "of better quality than anything you have ever bought."
This type of communication is blatantly rude, obnoxious and a detraction to the collecting hobby.
I interact with car clubs, jukebox clubs and this "club." While drama can happen in all of them, I try to avoid it, as these hobbies are recreation. No drama is sought on my part. We all have feelings, opinions and ideas (right or wrong). Everytime I post on here, I feel like I am walking on eggshells for fear of exactly what you did. I was simply stating something about me. There was no need for anyone to respond to that, especially in attack mode.
There is also an underlying clique on this site, with trading and selling involved that is also fermenting bad feelings. Even public trading on Ebay leads to stingers getting out of joint here.
So enough for me. Better to watch the drama than be consumed by it. Life is short and I would rather have a smile on my face than a scowl, especially over some trivial issue like a Maytag washing machine.
Peace, over and out.
Mike
