Lots of guilty peeps here ...
For the record, I am in agreement with your rant. And I think all of us are entitled a good rant every now and then.

As for the etiquette of buying and selling, I never understood why people have to be disrespectful with heir fellows when dealing with an exchange. I think the basic rules of civility and respect should apply to financial transactions too, especially as they apply to a hobby. I think the culture of "the customer is always right" has gone to people's heads. We are dealing with other hobbyists here, people with families and busy schedules and many conflicting priorities, so why would we expect them to bend over backwards for us? We all know that the customer is not always right, but we got used to that culture and we carry it over into our regular lives. And no, my time isn't more important than yours.

There you have it; another rant. So, you're not alone Greg!
