if your snide remarks are aimed at me
you should redirect your fire, you way off base

Hope it helps, advice only I don't want your sale.
if not, then I apologize & will get the chip of my shoulder, increase lithium doses & go about my merry day.
but if they are... then my friend, rethink your position & quit with the pot shots
Implying on this community that I was looking for an easy sale is quite frankly... just plain wrong. If I wanted to get a free shot at his wallet I could of easily contacted him of board & no one but him would of ever known. I don't know how you do business but...
I do not operate that way, my company doesn't,t operate that way either, never have , never will & I'm am quite familiar with the politics of not conducting or offering/soliciting business...etc of the LAB & other PSW related sites.
since most of the legal & safety issues had been already addressed I felt no further input was needed on that particular direction & offered some in-person help, since he mentioned that he was in Montreal in his query, I offered some in person help as many other on the LAB over the years have & not got shot at
P.s.
Frank Arsenault & Chris Hindle, who are also fellow Montrealers, that I know of that participate regularly on the LAB sites
Frank I know fairly well & Mr. Hindle I have yet the pleasure of meeting him but..
so far they haven't chimed in yet or have yet inclined they have the time or want to offer some help. <this was a legit offer, no strings attached.
off the soap box & back to the regulalrly scheduled Kaia

long winded version continued
if bored go to the end
as technology & the economy forces more people to work/interact with & threw machines , we tend to forget the hands on, up-close & personal approach to help & service,
not just making anonymous impersonal suggestions threw a terminal, a few or several thousand miles away, hoping it works, at the best without actually seeing his particular product & getting straight from the horses mouth, so to speak, it's still, just an educated guess. Period.
figuring out were he wants to go with this project & possibly address or ask some questions that weren't asked or covered in this short thread but could come out during our discussions.
Ok fine! I don't have the luxury of working with all latest & greatest gear & models out there & know every little detail about every serial number & spec about everything. I prefer getting straight to the point/heart of the matter, my late old man taught me (shit or get of the pot) a motto that I try live too, sums it up quite nicely
this guy needed help & had questions about socs, all I offered him was to give me a buzz & swing on by, so I could take some time to explain his options once I've looked over what he already has & what available out there so he could be better informed & have the tools to make educated decisions about his potential future purchase, regardless of where he actually gets it
If I had a nickle for every free phone call troubleshoot & "what do you think abouts, or how do you fix/operate/use etc......) I deal with over the phone on a daily basis. I could easily pay my mortgage.
I'm not no newbie, I've been doing this professionally (as main income) for more years than the legal drinking age in most countries & our companies is one of the oldest in our area & still kicking going on more than 35 years... Me & my companies reputation is very well respected in our area, with a good reason, we might not have the best or most gear out there but who do have good service & actually make & have time for the client questions.
we,re not a big shop only 3 including the owner but we take the time to talk to people & free advice is free advice.
off the soap box again & back to the regularly scheduled kaos
