Gramps and Godfather, I agree fully with everything.

TW if you had e-mailed me asking "Why?" instead of telling the admin I've been a bad kid, then this would all be different.
KB, no apology is necessary as you didn't offend me...I don't have a problem with you personally, I just tried to offer a different point of view having had personal expeience with the retailer in question...they have a tremendous inventory, and a great store with an incredible club room...also great customer service (usually...lol...other than the mix-up with you, and even you admitted they did email you explaining their prices before becoming frustrated with you in every thread of theirs that you posted in)...if they were consistantly a "rip-off dealer" I would back you to the hilt, however, their prices are good on a lot of items...they sell Opus X for more than MSRP because they are not a Fuente licensed Opus X dealer and have to buy their stock elsewhere and charge more for that specific item rather than turn away a customer, as part of doing business...we can choose to buy it from them or not...but by going from site to site shadow-posting behind them proclaiming them to be "gougers'" of everything they sell wasn't quite kosher and you know it...I know you are more intelligent than that and it would seem to me that at this point that all the parties that are getting involved just need to put their guns back in their holsters...a shoot-out over this doesn't help anyone or any board...and as far as their complaints to the board admins, c'mon, you know they're not on here every day in the thick of it with an understanding of the nuances of the boards...they're just a retailer that makes occasional posts like a lot of other retailers, some good, some bad...so I can understand why they complained, but then I also know that was totally futile, as well as you do, as it meant absolutely nothing...
