No worries. No heated exchange, either.
The advertiser has a product with no info. I asked a question, he got defensive. He said something interesting regarding price point. I inquired and got a strangely vague response. So I checked his website. It is slightly less vague than his posts. So I noted that in a post, and gave an extremely detailed question. His responses thereafter were nothing short of embarrassing, IMO. So I thanked him and moved on. No heat
Even the OP senses something amiss... And he's ready to pay the right loader manufacturer REAL money, like yesterday! If u had what the OP was looking for, would u play elementary school pen pal games with him? I wouldn't. There are other options for the OP... I hope he gets a great deal, on a great loader. He already has a great tractor, I hope he gets the implements for it that help him accomplish his tasks.
As far as my response to your joke, I meant mine as a light remark, as well. Truly it is a very serious thing to discuss the subject, as you have listed in more detail, however I would not be looking to do that here.
Imagine how a subject of such depth would challenge some folks.
Now where's that "stir the pot" icon... Oh well.
Have a great night, and I think what u wrote was funny. Wasn't trying to mess with u.
I do think very seriously about planning for the "end"... Would be happy to have brief discussion via PM. That's an invitation for u. I would not make the same offer to the above advertiser.
