nospam goes into every discussion thinking that his position is the only right position.

nospam
everyone does that. that's what drives discussions. who goes into a discussion thinking that they're wrong??

Tony Cooper
You could respond to what I said, not what I didn't say. I don't phrase my comments without thought.

Sandman
Hehe

Tony Cooper
He what? Have you acquired a stutter?

Sandman
It wouldn't have changed his meaning at all. No one does that. Humble and mature people can have their position swayed when proof and substantiations are brought forward, and then we have people like you, who will argue your position for days no matter how insane it is.

Tony Cooper
I guess you didn't have time to read what you were replying to. It wasn't at all about thinking one's position is right or not thinking one's position is right.

If that's true, then all that "online help" above isn't going to be taken advantage of either.

Sandman
Why not? It is found in direct relation to the product they're vieweing online.

Tony Cooper
Could you translate that sentence into English?

Sandman
Checking reviews and ratings *before* you enter a store isn't really a smooth buyer experience.

Tony Cooper
Really?

nospam must be right, then. I do things the hard way. I do, if the product represents a significant expense, check reviews and ratings before entering the store. Seems like the best way to do it.

So a $10 difference, after shipping charges, of one item establishes that camera stores charge double? And, you had to wait for delivery. What if you needed it today? What if what is offered online is a knock-off product from China that isn't as good a quality?

Sandman
Tony working hard to make it seem the prices quoted aren't "about double" by adding unrelated parameters.

Tony Cooper
Shipping costs are an unrelated parameter in deciding whether or not an online supplier's price is competitive?

Sandman
And now B&H sells low-quality knock-offs from China?

Tony Cooper
I guess I must have missed where nospam said online choices are limited to B&H.

It all comes around to my position that there is often more than one "right" way to do things.

Sandman
As long as it's not nospam's way to do things, that is. That can never be right, no matter what.

Tony Cooper
No, I think he was right about something. Give me some time. I'm sure I'll think of something he was right about.

Just out of curiosity, does nospam send you "Thank you" notes with little x's and o's for coming to his defense so often?
