Thanks for all of your kind messages.
Just to clarify, I have decided not to put out a catalog for 95 because I
won't be here all the time to answer the phone and that is simply not fair
to my customers.  I still have stock, and will continue to to help my
loyal customers, and I am concentrating on wholesale, more videos, and
R&D. Thanks for your comments and concerns.

On another note, when I first got on this net, Ron Reich gave me some
advise. He told me to "watch out" and "don't get sucked in" by the
infighting that happens on the net.I wish I would have listened to him. I
know 5 of my friends that are "well known and respected" in kiting, and
because this happened to them, they stopped posting and even lurking.We
have lost a lot of good advise and help because they did what I just did.
We allowed ourselves to be "sucked in"  and we unfortunately spoke our
minds because were pushed and pushed until we felt it was our duty to
respond. I sincerly apologize (and this is April 5 not the 1st) for my
actions and I will not respond to that kind of behavior any more, and I
will concentrate on having a positive affect instead of negative. Some one
posted "if you wrestle with pigs, you get muddy and the pig likes it",
well the pig does like it, the pig is laughing harder than ever, but I
took a shower and went on my way, and I won't amuse or wrestle the pig any
more. By not playing with the pig, the pig  eventually gets bored, eats a
lot, gets fat, and then the farmer takes him to auction, some one buys
him, slaughters him, cooks him, eats him, and then he's gone.

I would love to hear any responses to this, and what we can do to make
this a safe and fun learning experience free from pigs.
