first of all, you have no clue what your talking about...my temperment is
fine. Forget about
e-mail 'cause its more for venting than anything...but I think that you'll
find my technically
competent customers find me to be rather pleasant, and knowlegable and
helpful. Nate's
talked to me and I dont think he'll tell you that Im a fire breathing ogre
as some of those
who have never talked to me seem to pretend to know.

If I grow impatient with some guy who finds that he's way over his head in
configuring
an internet router and expects me to spend the afternoon on the phone with
him while
he debugs his configuration, its because I'm too damn busy to deal with
such horse
non-sense. Or the guys that tell me they won't buy a product without
source..well why
should I waste my time talking to such a person, when we don't provide
source? Does
he think he's going to talk me into giving him source to sell a card? And
the guy in the UK
 who thinks Im nasty because we dont take VISA, well Im sorry, but real
companies have
 American Express and I dont like dealing with some bank in Moosebreath
Montana when 
some banana returns a card after using it for 4 months because he finally
got financing for 
that Cisco that he really wanted.

Thats just the way it is...but those of you with your "opinions" who are
not customers
should TRY to be nice...because some day when your business grows you may
need something that we got ...
