OK, today we will try to beat the subjectline change into our collective psyche. This posting is a good example of how an umchanged subjectline can cause confusion and even possibly hurt someone's business . From mobile device, the posting looks like it's about Aircooled.net not posting prices on their website because the posting does not quote the previous thread or change the subjectline. Let's not all get PO'd at aircooled.net when the vendor in question is rockroad mountain westy. And a fine good afternoon to all.
