Bravo for you, you coined the phrase and hopefully taught the other
people here what NOT TO CALL or TO SAY to potential customers! I do
not believe for one minute that the same people that you
call "MOTORSPINNERS" would have done any better had they bought your
plans. Their interests or priorities probably changed or perhaps
they realized they could actually build a machine on their own
without your plans or help.
Now had you listened to all those "MOTORSPINNERS" that were telling
you that you were waisting your time, perhaps you would not have
gotten to the point you are at now, which, if I recall correctly is
that your business failed and you are looking for a job after losing
thousands of dollars tryng to do what many people have been telling
you that you shouldn't do.
