No bluster. But just today after 20 e-mails and a dozen phone calls
did they finally say they were coming to look it over. It is 4:30PM
CST and still no show.
I cancelled my appointments with my customers to wait for these folks.
(I guess a little bluster) I am an Electrician and it cost me a few
bucks to ignore a couple of service calls and pass them to an
associate.
It is still light out. Maybe they'll still show up.................
And maybe I'll be President.
Ah well,

Of course they don't show! Easy to say on the phone we will be over........
then you wait, lose money, and no show........
Sounds like a court case is brewing.......
Maybe if you knew a lawyer, or you could also leave a call back that with
the no show, a lawyer will be contacting you......
too bad.....

I think the same ratio applies to Usenet.

A follow-up to our conversation today Johnnie. You had
implied Brian
would come out and I do prefer that to Tony coming out. I
did wait
though for you to let me know one way or the other.
I
will try and cancel my customers for Friday AM. Maybe
until 10:00AM or
so. Maybe you could let me know if that is a good time. If
not I'll
make arrangements so we can get together.

This is the way my other e-mails were returned. It probably was more
like 10 that I sent. I do believe one went through. The others came
back to my mailbox. They never saw them so they could hardly term me a
crank.
Also, please feel free to critique my message to them at the very
bottom. Too nice? To the point? Civil?
They never got it and I have stopped after 4 unanswered calls to the
individuals cell phone.

So, self appointed ruler who has obvious problems with math would see
I posted this subject a grand total of twice. Two, not twenty.
Answering or clarifying other folks replies would not necessarily be
considered "posts".
Your abbreviated address might hint hat you just might be an
Electrical Engineer. All that education and cannot do simple math.
I might have done some ranting but I post here mostly to help other
people who have issues and in this particular case, they just might be
careful who they spend many thousands of dollars with if considering a
concrete or asphalt driveway.
What help does your inaccurate post convey? Did it do anything for
anyone?
Do you know what a kill filter is? If you don't like my posts, put me
there. That's where you're
going...................................gone!
Best Regards,
Roscoe aka Rick aka MrShade
