I have been trying to reach Pat also to no avail.
until he signs on to 78TA, checks this thread, and responds folks should NOT rush to judge. He should be given the chance to chime in prior to having himself or his company name trashed.
I say this as a business man also, you work for YEARS to make a name for yourself and it is much easier to have your name wrecked then it is to create it,
Smokey I would say hang tight until you speak with him. If he were on here and simply ignoring it that is one thing, but he has not even been logged on here in a few weeks.
Who knows maybe he has something going on we don't know about.
A few years ago I fell off the face of the earth for a MONTH and folks henned and screamed about how they never got thier orders and how I "Must have screwed them"
I was in ICU on LIFE SUPPORT, and damn near died............................
Point is s#^* happens in life and until you know both sides of a story taking jabs and swaying the public's view is a tad extreme also.
I have been very leary of chiming in on this post and am not defending anyone on either side. I simply feel until Pat chimes in this should be left alone.............................
Pat sells our product line of clip and fasteners and when we call him he is super quick to answer, being I have tried to call him for a week each day I would assume something is wrong as he always gets back to us promptly.
I hope I have not offended anyone.
