Before lurking here at the Mudcat I never heard of any of the accused. I never heard of CAMSCO before and it was only during this discussion that I realized that the Dick Greenhaus, primier Mudcatter extraordinaire, was also a purveyor of the music I love.

I am a long time supporter of the small business over the large business. In my daily real world job I have to deal with businesses in a variety of sizes. I invariably get better service and respect from the small businesses. The large businesses invariably treat me with disdain and a distinct lack of respect. It has been my experience that the large businesses are much better at hiding the real cost of things. Large businesses also do not concern themselves so much with their reputation. They have enough business in enough different areas that they can write off our little backwoods office so they don't concern themselves with our needs. Bear in mind that in all instances I am their customer. Sometimes I am buying some little amount of work valued under $25,000. At other times we work on contracts worth multimillions of dollars. Invariably it is the little guy who gives us the best service, respect, honesty, and value.

Dick, I don't know you but from what I've read in this thread you can have my business from now on. I wish you the very best.
