Re: Do YOU ACTUALLY Own Your Equipment??

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the real issue is that within any group of people there will always
be a complete mix of the good, the bad, the ugly, and the outright
scumbags...hey, that almost sounds like a Clint Eastwoork movie.
Unfortunately, this also occurs within the ranks of our customers. I bet
there isn't a single dealer out there that doesn't have his own version of a
horror story...from outright cheats, to having to actually call the police
in one instance I personally had....

Sad, but reality....
