    Me. Geez, Daniel, you got all eloquent and stuff. Very well put.
    Jo-Ann's father had a pasta factory -those Italians- and he was
    complaining that a restaurant hadn't paid him in 3 months. We said,
    so cut them off, and he said, "I can't do that, they're good
    customers." Well, his heart was big and wide, but GOOD customers
    don't treat you like that. I think much of this (seemingly eternal)
    thread is about ego. Some have said the likes of, "But since I'm the
    artist, it's offensive....." Well, I'm not going to go there, but it
    seems to me that when one is behind the counter in a mercantile
    situation, that they are actually a vendor......But that's just me...
