I promise to keep this one shorter....

Maybe I did take it a bit personal, but what really bugs me (and this is not aimed at you), is misinformed people that come up to me and tell me how I should run my business, and saying that they can do better. To which I usually reply "Put together a system and discs, and a proposal to the owner and if he decides to go with you, so be it."

As you put it:
"I may not stay in the business but any competition brings prices down and dilutes the market. "

IMO that is the wrong attitude. Basically, it says to me: "Hey, I really don't give a **** whether I succeed or not, but I sure as hell can undercut your prices." Not the best business model, you being a business-person, should recognize this.

But mostly, It is your arrogance that really annoys me...
"These were points that would make every business better if we weren't so quick to dismiss them."
You say this as if it were fact, when it is only your opinion. Keep it as such and don't try to force it down my throat. I think after 10 years in one location, I know what my customers do and do not like.
