i agree with rickjames on the word ofmouthadvertising part - only because how will i be any different if i do that - that's why i didn't mention the shop name. only difference is i'd be telling the truth LOL


PLUS i had a talk with tim this morning who said he was leaving the shop over this and i said 'no way tim.' i told him this was between me and the shop owner, that i didn't need anyone picking sides, and that i didn't need or expect that as a friend - and i didn't want that for us to continue being friends and to do business together. this is going to hurt both the owner and i. he'll be losing a little $, i'm losing a hangout because i can't rightly shoot down there and such until he apologizes for going to far - and i'll tell him that. i don't mind getting cussed, or chris getting cussed for losing the fellow a couple dollars - but the badmouthing is too far - and i'll tell him he needs to apologize for only that. besides that he can try and make this a pick sides thing - but i'm enough by myself to handle it. thanks for letting me air this out here - and i believe i've decided how i'm moving forward. john
