0 Mike Williamson 198 Report post Posted November 2, 2006 ....and I thought it was just all those trips to Orlando for your "sweetheart" deals and the "promise" to work on a larger commercial job! :lgwave: Well, there is that too. Of course, next time I come down for one of those "near cost" deals on supplies, I need to pick up another case of Phelps Wands. I've had great success in suckering the local washers here in town into buying them. I think I've converted a dozen or so from using those silly Spraying Systems guns to using the far superior, rugged, lightweight Phelps Wand. Of course, these are some pretty tough characters to be able to "wrestle" with those horribly difficult ball valves! LOL!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Don Phelps 85 Report post Posted November 2, 2006 Reality is a nice place to be, isn't it? The interesting part is that I have copies of emails/pm's from a particular individual trying to send alleged business my way, then accusing me of "sweetheart" deals and blah, blah, blah. Go figure.

The interesting part is that I have copies of emails/pm's from a particular individual trying to send alleged business my way, then accusing me of "sweetheart" deals and blah, blah, blah. Go figure. Yeah, you sure do.' I HAVE tried to be nice to you, even to the point of trying to send you new business. I just wish you would stop soliciting business on this, and other boards. I have had some people tell me they called you for "advice", only to get the sales pitch from you. From helping people on the Internet for many years before you ever thought of getting away from Home Depot, I have a following of people who seek me out for advice. Having NOTHING to sell them, I TRIED to extend an "Olive Branch" out to you Don, but you continue to disrespect me. Then, you make ME look like the bad guy, when it is you that is the problem. Stop your disrespect, and your snide remarks, and "behind the scenes" politicing. I know you can't stand it when I get ANY attention, but please realize I have been doing this a lot longer then you have, and know what I am doing. Here was your latest insult, for all to see, By the way Tasleton2 was giving me a compliment. Couldn't stand it Don, could you ?

0 Washaway 64 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 There are so many companies, in every one of our neighborhoods, with whom we'll never be friends. The reason why we hang out on this board, and I presume other boards aswell, is to share the knowledge we've learned and to learn from one another. It's an attempt to better the industry, through education, which puts food on our tables. Why can't we just get along? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 I believe this post originated to support ARMA position on the use of bleach & TSP. It subsequently escalated to questionable advertising/teaching methods. It definitely needs to swing back away from the recent personal digs - NOW.
