Well a few guys say it definitely for sure not a community.
and a few guys say it definitely is a community.
At least we got that part straight.
Take Rusty Melton for example. I love his cases and wish I had one. The cases he makes and sells are new, so by the new procedure he will be banned from offering them for sale here. Were it not for AZ Billiards, I never would have seen one of his cases. How many cases a year can a craftsman like him make? Whatever the number, I'm sure it can't come close to him justifying contacting Jerry to buy a banner ad.
Brent Hartman for another example. I think I bought one of the first BHQs made. Saw it here, at AZ Billiards. It was a new cue, now he's banned from offering that product. Through the years I got to watch him progress as a cue maker to the point where one of his cues was sold to one of the Country's premier collectors. Where did Tikkler see that BHQ ? Here at AZ. I'm sure Bent is struggling to make ends meet as a cue maker. I, for one, kinda enjoyed helping him in his goal, and I'm betting that he flat can't afford to buy a banner. Please name me one banner ad buyer that is in any way harmed by Brent selling a one-off custom butterfly cue.
There is not one, not one, AZ Banner supporter business that is hurt one iota by Rusty or Brent selling their wares on AZ Billiards. I'm sure (or I hope at least) that neither Brent or Rusty were not considered when they came up with this new rule, and that is the problem as I see it. I just don't see AZ as so big that the people who run it can't come to their members and say, "here's the problems as we see them, lets work together to solve them".
However, as long as this post IS allowed:
