<p>[quote user="BigDaddy"]</p> <p>The OP was there and we were not, and it bothered him enough to start this thread. However there is the Greenspan paradox:</p> <h4 class="quoteText">" I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”</h4> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>You are correct, I was not there. However, I was giving my opinion on similar conversations that I have had. </p> <p>And my opinion is:</p> <p>If the OP started the converstation, or had started a similar conversation in the past, or was bragging to the owner about how much he spends on the hobby, etc.. then its his fault. </p> <p>Also I don't particularly care what other people spend on the hobby, its up to them, unless they are my friends, then we play the "who can we get to spend more than me this trip" game (LHS owners love that game). Other than the before mentioned "game" <span style="text-decoration:underline;">I have never</span> felt pressured to buy anything by any hobby shop I have entered, I come get what I am looking for or order it if it isnt there. The feeling of being pressured is <span style="text-decoration:underline;">you allowing yourself to feel pressured</span>. </p> <p>Again these are my opinions, with these and $4.95 you can get a cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts. </p>
