WOW...
It was tempting to "out him" but he left on his own....
You're kidding!?!?
You know, sometimes I wish I was more mechanically "enclined"... but those sewing machines are terribly intimidating. I have enough trouble just figuring out the dials on the outside of the machine... and the levers. What's with the levers AND the dials? Why couldn't they just go with one thing. It would be less aesthetically displeasing....

We, or some of us, tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he received a very cold shoulder from 99.8% of us.
I think I was one of the ones who gave him a bit of a tongue lashing. Based on what Steve's told us, I don't feel bad about it now. Seriously. That guy did NOT know his audience!
