maybe i need to explain myself coheley5.i have been in business for myself for over 20 years and 20 before that with my dad.one thing i learned is never to berate my potential customers on "why didnt you pick me?"many people here have pointed out good reasons why they dont go to sign of the past.and i beleive that is reason enough.if i were to talk to potential customers in the way that has been done here,i bet it wouldnt be 2 seconds before i would be tossed out on my ear,and never called again.not to mention that they would tell their friends,who wouldnt call me either.read the book!
Looking for gas,oil related clocks,especially neon and spinners .clock repair available. Mick

OK guys, Your message has been sent. If Bob K chooses to listen to the comments, the next move is his.
Let's end this line of discussion here.

Looks like I saw this thread a little too late. If you would have looked at mrbobk's original post he did edit it after Doc's suggestion with a link to his website at 7:55pm which was well before you guys started jumping on him.... too bad.

I THOUGHT FOR A WHILE HERE YOU COULDN'T EDIT YOUR POST AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME...LIKE AN HOUR SO? OR DOES THAT JUST EFFECT CERTAIN FORUM AREAS OR AM I NOT CORRECT AT ALL? LOL!
BUT SINCE I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO COMMENT ABOUT ADDING A LINK TO THE ORIGINAL POST, I CANNOT SEE ANY OTHER CHANGES OTHER THAN THE LINK GETTING ADDED NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT WAS EDITED. THE ORIGINAL POST LOOKS THE SAME TO ME...BASICALLY AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS THREAD WENT SOUTH FROM THAT POINT ON. JM2C.

I followed the thread from the beginning, the link WAS NOT added until very recently, It was not there a few days after the post started. Something is very fishy there

Just to set things straight. Bob K did edit his first post within the 10 hours of open edit time to add the link. Nothing fishy at all.
I did change the setting Monday morning, Dec. 20 that allowed a member to check a box on the Edit form to show on the message that the post was edited or not. That is no longer an option in an effort to show complete transparency in the edit process. Now all edited messages will show the time of the last edit. Stating the reason is encouraged, but is still optional.
