Maybe I am overly sensitive because I had a retail business that on line buyers stole sales from me and I was discounting steeply. So I stand by my word, that I like to do what I can to keep the ma and pa brick and mortar stores going, especially this forum's sponsors.
I hear ya! We recently bought a new freezer. Our choices were Home Depot or the mom & pop appliance store. Mom & Pop won. Even though the same make and model freezer was $90 more than HD was offering. We also felt we were getting better service and the people were more knowledgeable about the product...and...they have a repairman on staff.
