When I get my lap top fixed, I'll post the recipt to resolve the issue as to why I haven't been doing many reviews and posts lately. Today I just happen to be waiting for glue to dry at different intervals. I would like to say though that I do answer questions about wood working regularly in PM's an in the Humidor section. I know the same group is notorious for being the muscle around here and I respect that. My feelings are not hurt, they are passionate about this site. I have to say though that by definition I do this as a hobby.
hob·by 1 (hb)
n. pl. hob·bies
An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation (Audio 2000 www.audio2000az.com for proof) and engaged in primarily for pleasure.
BUT! by definition, I am also a retailer.
Wikipedia definition:
Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a very fixed location, such as a department store, boutique or kiosk, or by mail, in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser.[1] Retailing may include subordinated services, such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or businesses. In commerce, a "retailer" buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user. Retail establishments are often called shops or stores. Retailers are at the end of the supply chain. Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a necessary part of their overall distribution strategy. The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as a public utility, like electric power.
In order to keep the peace, I choose to be defined as a retailer. BUT, like it or not, I do it for the pleasure of it. Hopefully this can allow you to see this from both sides of the coin. I respect your opinions although I may not agree with them sometimes.
Anyway, I'm going home now. You guys have a wonderful evening.
