"Made all the more funnier by your recent alienating comment that some owners just have a tron for the sake of having one and won't upgrade."
Sorry Frank, but that was my comment, not Martin's.
Consider this; it appears that in your dealings with Streetly and others on this list, you have lost a few friends and created a few enemies. Unfortunately, this is a very small community. Your letter is not very sympathetic. It is, however, your response to injustices you feel you have incurred, and you have the right to post anything you wish.
The facts are, if Streetly doesn't want to do business with you, then that is for them to decide; it is not for we on this list to try and coerce them into rethinking their decision. It's no one's business but yours and theirs. This goes for anyone else you may have offended.
Frank, you are a therapist so if I were you I would look back and see what you could have done, not to make amends for your past actions, but to have prevented them in the first place. This all sounds like problems you may have in how you interact with others.
I, for one, hope you get your machine working again. How you resolve your problems with others is up to you, not us.
