We Rock!

I think there is a difference Sathor. Steve did not do this order through his shop and is not trying to appease a dissatisfied customer. It was handled on behalf of the members here. Hank never meant for Xmarks to be a product site and as it stands right now Xmarks only offers a very limited supply of special run items. To limit the amount of Xmarks items and protect the name and property of the site owner we asked Steve to be the unofficial Xmarks merchandise guy. What that means is he simply sees what level of interest there is for a special run, so collects the orders from the members, he collects the funds, and than orders the product and deals with the manufacturer.

Steve took this on through his own accord and is not making a profit. Any discount that was being offered for this tartan run would be coming out of his pocket for something many don't think he should have to make up for. It's simple mistake and one that can be easily fixed.The discount was not being given by the supplier or by Freedom kilts, but out of Steve's pocket. Not at all fair in my opinion.

Coming from someone that was privy to this info as a moderator and someone that took part in these discussion for the past few years with Steve I don't think anyone on this site understands the amount of time and work Steve puts into these special runs. To make this perfectly clear,without Steve this special order of the Xmarks fabric in PV (which Steve researched with several sources over the past 2 years or so) would never have taken place.

I am sure he would rather be working on his own business which does pay his bills.


Kudos to those of you that understand that this was a simple mistake and anyone could have made and those of you that have stepped up to lend support to a great guy that does an awesome job for all of us.

I've learned a crap load about sewing, for what that's worth. Still can't use a sewing machine to save my life. Oh how that machine mocks me from the table...

"Man!"

"well you could say Dennis".....

[sathor]

"well you could say Dennis".....

Well I didn't know you were called Dennis.

(you're getting to the more complicated parts, with great filth down here...)

[The Barry]

Well I didn't know you were called Dennis.

Well you didn't bother to find out, did you?

I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind you looked..."



(did I mention my son likes the yell "help help I'm being repressed" when he thinks he is being repressed?)

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Well, aren't we all being repressed? Day to day that is?

I was afraid I'd bring the geeks out of the woodwork if I started encouraging the Monty Python quotes.

Just wanted to yank things back onto topic, but I've forgotten what that is....

Someone want to remind me?

Take up the challenge ladies and gentlemen!

Be well,
