I am puzzled on why it is wrong to get opinions....at least they are vested in their business. I say "Good for them!!"

I didn't say it was wrong and you're somewhat rude for making assumptions. My comments can be taken at face-value. I have no other motive than "just wondering". I'm glad they care and are a part of the forum. Anyone who had read my posts knows I support and prefer local business, which is probably not the "norm" for my age group - I avoid the Wal-Marts of the world at all costs...

Being vested in your business means face-to-face exchanges. I think it's great when business owners chime in on a thread, whether it's to clear up a situation or to thank people for their input (good or bad). But starting a thread... eh... it strikes me as odd. I asked questions - before making assumptions - because I wondered if there was more to it... (i.e. marketing a new product.)
