This is not at all like your mistake about B&H where you ploughed ahead resisting all attempts to suggest you were off the rails somewhere.

Sandman
Oh come one now, Eric. We've been through this already. There were no such attempts. There was a lot of *confusion* because you thought I actually meant B&H which is a NY-store, so you asked me if I had been to NY (in direct response to me saying it was in Florida).

At no time did you ever respond to me with any information that would lead me to see that I made a mistake.

In my case, it took a while for anyone to prompt me because you got all confused by my mistyping, which is understandable.

Eric Stevens
But you persisted with your error, which is the important point.

Sandman
I did not. The *exact* moment it was brought to my attention that I had made an error did I correct it.

I *made* the error many times, but I didn't "persist" with for a single second. There's a huge difference.

Colonial was slightly bugger than B&H, but B&H was also very tiny.

It might help you give a reference point when people use words like, large, small, tiny, microscopic etc.

Eric Stevens
Sandman: Uh, yeah? I was there, remember? It was a tiny store. Why is this a problem for you? Do you have some form of pride invested into the size of this store? Why? What's it to you?

Sandman
Eric Stevens: Size is a relative thing, especially if you judge by the size of B&H or similar.

Sandman
"bugger"???

"...B&H was also very tiny."???

None of that response makes any sense at all.

I'm sure the camera section of B&H actually is significantly larger than colonial, when comparing area, but smaller when it comes to actual photorelated merchandise.

Why not?

Something like 5,000 people a day shop at B&H. How would you fit them in a "tiny" store.

"...B&H was also very tiny."?? Those are your words aren't they? If you consider B&H "very tiny" what exactly do you consider a large store?

B&H is a massive store, the furthest from *very tiny* that anybody could possibly imagine. Take a look at their store information video at full screen.

I'm quite interested in what Jonas considers to be a "big" store. B&H is a 70,000 square foot store.

I am fully aware of the size of B&H. I was at on in the Florida Loop. It wasn't "massive", but sure, it's a big store.

Sandman
Are you talking about the B&H in New York?

You can't possibly be serious, unless you were in Bob & Harry's photo store. You don't sound as if you actually visited B&H Photo Video.

Huh? Are you saying that the Best Buy at 1620 W Osceola Pkwy has a much larger camera section than I am claiming it does? Why on earth would I lie about that? IN fact, have I ever lied at any point? (Hint: no).

The camera section in this Best Buy was small, they had very few SLR bodies around, and a very small selection of P&S cameras as well.

But, can you buy beach towels, diapers, sun screen, extension cords, and garden implements in your camera store?

Why would anyone ever guess anything related to this. All I said is that I thought BH had a tiny camera section. I have no idea why this is a problem for you. I'm sure there are B&H's that have larger camera sections as well.

In what way does this affect you in ANY capacity?

MediaMarkt isn't a camera store. Neither is B&H, so I'm not sure what camera store you're comparing with here.

I didn't see any of the above at the B&H at the loop either,

We have already established that Jonas has mixed up and misidentified a Florida Best Buy as B&H Photo Video of NYC. B&H has no presence in any State other than NY. Its global online reach negates that necessity.

Now we just have to see if Jonas acknowledges his error.

You wrote about visiting a B&H in "the loop", not a Best Buy.

Eric Stevens
Sandman: B&H's camera section was tiny. I wasn't talking about the entire store, just as I didn't include the size of the entire Colonial store either, since it's some 70% hobby things like model airplanes and such.

Sandman
A blatant lie.

It took several prods from others for you to wake up and acknowledge your error.

That was the post that made me see my error. This is my response:

"Wow, my bad. You know, I didn't even stop to think about it. I have been talking about Best Buy, yes. Sorry about the confusion."

Loop. It wasn't "massive", but sure, it's a big store.
