Call my shop as I'll make sure to call before 9:30 and leave word if I've concluded an appointment.
-----------------
So by asking if you gave details re the azb cues sched you said your piece on your post. I was asking Hubie. If he said that you gave no such details, that would have been the end of my question.
I will try to respond though:
1) --
You're just a troublemaker that pre-empted the formal announcement.- I did announce it but so did the other people who were buzzing it during that day. Anyway why take it up only now? If could have deleted the announcement if I knew your position on it.
2)
thus resorting to your rude behaviour doesn't hold water as you have verified that you are close to the people here and comes and goes as you please -- what was rude? asking if you gave details on the sched? As I said, I was asking Hubie. Ih he said he did not know anything, that would have ended it.
3)
Therein lies the problem, your understanding that if people don't have a job with you they're jobless. -- The fact is he was jobless and asked me if I could find him a job. I informed you and you took him in. I was happy for the guy.
4)
This was exactly what started his troubles with his former employer who is a cuemaker and POOL TABLE Manufacturer. You did this very same thing which cut out the company of income which in tun went to your pocket. Glad you brought that up. -- Back then, he was employed by that same cuemaker and manufacturer. So I did not cut up on anything. I also did not know anthing about that table purchase which that maker and manufacturer sold to the buyer. In fact, I was the one who introduced the buyer to that maker and manufacturer. The buyer bought cues and a table. I had nothing to do with it. Just setting the record straight -- plus the buyer had big problems with that table.
5)
I beg to differ, I was in the same room with him when you called.-- Sure it was me? Did you call or talk to be about it? So how do you know? Why did you keep it to yourself? As I said before, when I ask him, he wants to do it after work or on his day off. I totally respect that. And that's my rule with him.
6)
He was brought up to demonstrate DISTANCE. If you can drive all the way there, 20+ miles away, then driving to here, which is less than 5 miles away from your house, makes it 4+ times easier for you. --- I am having him make me cues. So why will I not go there? I frequented your place to look at cues yes, but also to see if there was progress with ours. I (like the other people here) don't mind if you take your time. But I can also have cues made right? My Miltonio took a lot of my time, and the same with these cues by him and other cue makers.
7)
The other guys just non-chalantly talk about it, unfortunately of lower education, and as experienced can change sides to protect themselves. They'll never hold up to a formal interrogation though.--- Protect them from who? me? what can I do to him/them? But you should not believe everything you hear. If I really offered to pirate him/them, it's better for him/them to tell me in front of you -- and he/they can tell me in my face. They can show their loyalty. At the same time it will be fair for me right? Everyone has the right to face his accuser or rumor monger.
8)
Maybe you would like to bring our friend who you brokered a local custom cue for but was so ashamed of the history of the cue's creation that he eventually found out. --- I'm not clear on this. If you can be more specific, maybe I can oblige.
I will call your shop.
Ed, I have no ill feelings or what. I also like your cue. In fact I just recently bought another one -- the one you made for ED.
All in all we need to clarify this and settle person to person.
Thanks
What a burden!!!
