To add to what Michael mentioned there, I think to some degree, there is a very real anxiety amongst some of the retail stores when it comes to internet based companies and the insiders try to then instill some fear into the buying public. Before I purchased my Axioms, a couple of dealers(won't mention names) tried to do this to me for considering them vs their own offering. That's nothing new to me actually, a lot of salespeople think they have nothing to lose if you're ready to buy something else, so they'll say just about anything.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
