It would be nice to ( at least try to ) keep negative comments in the Flame suit section.

From Shakespeare's Hamlet, 1603:

LORD POLONIUS:
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borroing dulls the edge of husbandry.


Well since you asked and you seem to have strong feelings about this, I expected the borrower to be an honorable person and be grateful to have had the opportunity to borrow a $40.00 tool that they didn't feel they need to buy....AND RETURN IT! Am I missing something here Sting? And flame suit central has nothing to do with this.

Matt hasn't sent out Dwyer Mark II 's for at least a year,, the red fluid spilled, too messy to set up, etc..

Matt out of his own pocket bought a bunch of Magnehelic draft gauges.. these are NOT cheap.. they are an aircraft or industrial quality gauge that only needs to be set verticle, and a hose hooked up.. no fluid, no leveling, easy to read etc..


I had not heard that Matt was having problems with returns since he instituted the no phone number, no manometer policy..

To be very honest this is pretty sad.. I started this program, [read the first post in the thread] and handed it off to Matt, since he at the time had a lot more time to work the program..

But there always seems to be a rotten apple to spoil the barrel full.

Seriously disapointed in whoever has not returned the manometers..

AS for the threatening comments.. yes let's end those,, the thieves have, if they even read the comments, got the point.. If we expect to get the manometers back, we need to back off on the negativity..
