People are interesting for sure. Men and ladies both come into my work and make the comment when they see the longarm machines and remark "That is cheating." I find the statement interesting. I guess it is all in ones perspective. Is a builder "cheating" when he or she uses a power drill, or hammer or backhoe? Is it "cheating" to use a microwave or programable coffemaker, or blender, or foodprosser? Is it "cheating" to use power windows in your car, well hey, why drive? Why can't you walk if for no other reason to avoid "cheating". You were wise to leave, I for one would have left with you.
