With all due respect to your feelings, Wiard would never "reject" anybody (but see note 
below). If I don't feel I can fulfill my obligations in a timely manner, then your request for 
quotation (RFQ), will be respectfully declined with a "No Bid". This is all according the the 
Universal Commercial Code (UCC), It is to protect the customer from being taken 
advantage of.

I am sorry that I handled the matter so clumsily that it felt like a rejection. I was REALLY 
green in 1999. Wiard has always operated in the customers best interest. Ask the 
hundreds who called looking for "Moogs" whom I gave Paul Schrieber's telephone number.  

I am sorry if your feelings were bruised by my lack of diplomacy at the time. It was 
unintentional.

Legal Footnote: It is illegal to form a contract with someone whom the vendor believes is 
in the middle of a metal health crisis. This of course, does NOT apply to Phil's case, but I 
have had to use that clause twice in ten years. Schizophrenia can not be treated with 
acupuncture or electronic music therapy, though schizophrenics will always come up with 
the most outlandish self treatments, which they are sure will "cure" them. It's part of the 
delusional state. That is the ONLY case were the word "rejected" might apply. Again this is 
part of the UCC and designed to protect the customers best interest.
