Little Stevie---

 Your overreacting again----

No crying in your beer over free enterpise--that what's the beautiful
thing is about America----free enterprise.

What your more upset with is Ronnie Salami is more than likley chopping
the hell out of your once captive market price, and now your
Boo-Hooing----

If your going to be in Rome, do as the Roman's do---be more
competitive---

If you can't ride with the big boy's--get rid of your Bike-----or in ths
case your tricycle----

Waaaaaaaaa---Waaaaaaa-Waaaaaaaa.

Quit crying---

Later,

TK--

E-mail message From Stevie�Schwenk

I seemed to have upset some people with my post blasting the bus depot
for trying to capitalize on the positive comments about my springs that
had been posted lately. My apologies. I've just had it with Ron and his
offensively aggressive and misleading marketing, be it here or on the
syncro list.
There was a time on this list where he almost got permanently booted
because of his business ethics. That was back when he was threatening to
sue people if they dared speak criticism about his business. Note that
he is no longer a recommended vendor on vanagon.com. There is a reason
for that. Please take notice.
Ron does not know a damn thing about my springs. His attempt to
characterize them is complete fiction, made up out of thin air. Truth
means little to him, sales mean everything. That is my experience in
watching him post for the last 6 years. Others may have different
opinions, but many share mine.
It is disgusting that he tries to weasel in on the good words said about
my springs (that is the only thing i sell) and steal sales away from me.
He's an opportunist and a slimy snake, in my opinion. If that makes you
mad or me look bad, i'm sorry. This used to be a community where no one
would ever do that. Never. For him, it's business as usual.
