I hadn't thought about it that way...I am relatively new here, but I would
have to assume that, although all the vendors did not start the list, they
do realize what it means to us and have also put themselves out there to
have applicable parts in stock(or custom made) in the hopes that it will
beneift us both, the user and seller. Some folks are online all the time
offering, not just advice(not to mention they actually drive and vacation in
the same vehicle) but parts sources. I am not defending one person or the
other, just makin myself clear that I appreciate the efforts that small
business owners make, and when the $1.99 haircut place opens up, i will not
be in line because of pricing.
Not to shut the post down, but don't want to defend the position anymore.
WiIl say again...I like choices but I also respect courtesy.
