Was that comment necessary?  Al has never flamed you that I know of.

Being your same old self, I see Robert.

Such as yourself.

Part of being a *reporter*. (reporter: to serve as a carrier of a message;
to relate the words or sense of something said) So what is your point,
Robert?

Condescending remarks outline your true worth to humanity, Robert.

Should have sent them to Al for repair. I am sure the customer would have
been far happier than to have that patch job in house. To bad you didn't at
least have an alternative product to offer them.

Shows the level of your field experience.

You sell replacement parts because that is what you are in business to do.
What kind of BS are trying to push here Robert?

Let's send this thread to the Nutone rep here is Florida, Bob Mondor and see
if they are satisfied with RLB.

We already know that you were a lay mistress. A quote from RLB. Before I
went into the biz, I looked like
this....(I)  After I got into the biz, with all my relationships, I now look
like this....(0).. or was that after you got out.

No, those are all your past buddies...hey hey hey

That is just hamburger grease, try drinking some degreaser :^)

Why would making a mistake or a statement that was left open to
interpetation be reason for you to not believe anything he has to say, other
than you simply being you.

Where did you get that? I don't see it in his statement or any statement he
made in this post.

What is wrong is that you are trying to spin something that isn't there.
Stop and think people make career changes for many different reasons. While
I am copying NuTone maybe Mike Zawinski would like to know what the founder
of, what ever webstore you are calling it today, thinks of SSI.

Ever stop to think that the challenge to some is to get companies on their
feet and when that happens the challenge is over? On to the next one.

Or are you just try to dig up a reaction so that you can continue your
sarcasm.

And if you continue to reply with sarcasm and condescending remarks, I will
be there to out your over inflated ego mixed with some sort of mental
impairment.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Another day just chaulk full of kicks and
giggles!!!!!! Keep um coming Robert.
