I agree with Art - What happened to helping fellow knife lovers out- you can assist the guy or point him in the right direction as I and a couple others did without bashing him for his question. Everyone doesn't come here knowing the rules - we must inform them as we were informed but can't we do it in a civil way? I truly felt bad for the guy...If I were treated this way when I asked my first few questions I may not still be here today. Actually, yeah I would cause I don't let that stuff bother me - but I'm with Art on this - He could and should of been treated nicer. Everyone took offense that some one dared ask about other brand knives...I can show you post after post after post of Dawgs talking about and showing pics of 'their' other knives and also show you comments where someone said they were passing on Busse or a particular knife because of cost. I don't see the difference here.

Okay, now off my soap box. Thanks for getting me riled up Art <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> In case you can't tell, I've had a bad day. As with Art - don't take offense here either...just realize I am trying to make a point and that I've had a bad day. And after all of the comradery that I have seen and experienced here, I was a little surprised to see some of these responses...I doubt this is how Dan would like us to treat new folks with questions.
