Sometimes things catch up to you...
I know this is a couple months old, but I couldn't help but find it an interesting commentary on our modern "hide behind a screen" expectations when the OP discovered that his review of the Walker Super B got back to the dealer...and the reaction of most members of this forum.
The internet provides a great medium for transfer of information. At the same time, sometimes we hide behind our screens, thinking we have freedom from any responsibility for what we say. While I have no problem at all with the OP, or anyone else, giving their honest opinion on any topic, let's not get all sanctimonious and think our comments...whether negative or positive...are our own private property. When you post on the internet, you're posting for the world to see. You have no right to whine if someone sees your comments that you didn't expect. You trashed the Walker mower in your review. Do you think your dealer, the one you refer to as though you're "friends", would have preferrred that you come to him with your concerns instead of posting a permanent indictment of his product on the internet? Of course! Does he have a right to be upset with you? Of course! Does any Walker rep have a right to try to prevent this sort of thing from happening to protect their product line? Of course! Don't you think that virtually ALL lawncare manufacturers monitor these forums? Of course they do!
While we have every right to post what we feel or think online, we can't forget that when we trash a product, we're affecting people's livelihoods...whether manfacturers, distributors, or dealers. We may like the information, as users, but we shouldn't be surprised or upset to know that we're damaging others with negative comments...or expect them to be okay with it.
You stabbed your dealer in the back. You trashed his product. Does the fact that you did it on the internet make it okay? It makes it more comfortable, for sure...until what goes around comes around. From what you said, he was a great person to deal with and has done you nothing but good. Of course, he wasn't happy with you. You betrayed a relationship. Don't blame it on someone else. You did it. You assumed the internet was anonymous (which is definitely isn't!). You assumed your 'friend' wouldn't hear what you said about his product. If it's not something we would say to our friends and neighbors openly in public, then it definitely shouldn't be said in the most open and public place in the world...the internet.
We all selfishly want folks like the OP to give their honest opinions and feel free to do so...but we can't forget that there's a flip side to that coin. And we have no right to be upset at that flip side when it turns up. Nobody forces us to play this game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But whether to play or not is ours to choose.
I did not stab the dealer in the back. Did I say he's a terrible person or dealer? I did not betray a relationship. Did he ask me not to speak my mind or share with others my opinions on the product? I wrote the review about the product not the dealer. The dealership itself is as good as they come. When a dealer asks you, or offers you, or agrees to let you demo a product, they are giving it for the precise reason to allow you to test their merchandise fully so you can determine what the product is about. Has anybody ever told you you can demo a product but don't tell anyone you talk to about any negatives you find?! (or positives) They're also responsible for the repercussions of putting a product out there for testing. I wrote a review on only one of many products he sells. Prior to demoing it he was on me for years to try one. Many times I kindly rejected his offer with a reason about how the machine would probably not fit my business set up. It's all business. Your whining yourself saying that I'm damaging others with negative comments and affecting people's livelihoods...whether manufacturers, distributors, or dealers I'm not writing it for them. Shoot, all of them are and will tell you their machine is the best thing since sliced bread even when knowing it may not be for everyone and their situation just so they make the sale. It's all business for them as well! Do you think if they misrepresent a product to someone, regardless of the cost and it makes you loose income, work quality, clients, or time that they are worried that they hurt you directly? No. They're worried about selling the next unit. I'm writing it for people like you and me (assuming your a LCO and not in the business of promoting them yourself) that are trying to squeak out a living. For many of us, this is a huge investment, that we are going to have to live with for hrs and years to come, and will directly effect our efficiency and earnings to a large degree. I would and will say any of this to the dealer face to face or anyone else that is interested. There is nothing that I would not say that I have written on here to the dealer or the manufacturer directly.
What chafes me is the way someone whined behind the scenes without even debating any of it with me and it does also bother me the dealer called me out on it without even reading it themselves to see what I wrote and took the whiner's word and tone as his sounding board.
Using your thought process, if I find a positive fact about a competitor's unit and write or speak about it it would also damage Walker and may affect people's livelihoods...whether manufacturers, distributors, or dealers Who'd a thought.
By the way I am happy I did not go with Walker to this day. If Walker's product changes to meet my needs who knows some day I may own one. It may and must be the answer to many other operators needs. Just not mine at this time.

This is real strong being that it was your first post on LS. Spend some time on here and maybe you'll have a change of heart. There's a lot of good info. on here. Of course a lot must be taken with a grain of salt. My posts included.
mtmower, I've been registered with Lawnsite for years. Interestingly, one of the reasons I joined back then was doing research to determine actual field (not demos) use of the Walker Super B back when it first came out. Back then, there wasn't enough info on them to cause me to buy one, so I stuck with Grasshopper. I've personally never used a Walker.
I think we're not seeing this from the same perspective. From your point of view you tell me that I'm "whining" by simply stating that posting negative comments on a forum damages others and affects people's livelihoods...whether manufacturers, distributors, or dealers. I'm not sure how that's "whining"...but if you disagree with that fact, then we're on different pages from the get-go. Negative comments on the internet are permanent...and of course they're damaging. How can they not be?
Also, I don't think there is any comparison between saying positive things and saying negative things. I'm not sure I can see the parallel your attempting to draw. I teach my kids to say positive things...not critical things. I realize that's somewhat different, but I think it's more similar that you're giving it credit. Speaking words that build up someone is not the same as speaking words that tear another down. I'm sorry. I just can't agree that pumping up the virtues of Grasshopper is the same as spreading the faults of Walker. I just think we have a bit of a different outlook.
OTO, as I stated originally, I agree wholeheartedly with you...I love the information...good or bad. That's why we come here. That's selfish me...to know the dirt so I can make a well informed decision. But all this freedom of speech and information does come at a cost. We post negative information at our peril. Of course, I can't say for sure, but I'd suspect that a Walker rep contacted your dealer to correct, if possible, any situation that caused a bad demo. After all, anyone and everyone researching the Walker Super B in Google will see your bad review. It's on the first page of Google and probably will be for a long time to come. Walker doesn't want that. YES, of course it affects Walker AND your dealer directly in a very dramatic way. The internet is a powerful medium.
I find it telling when you say, "What chafes me is the way someone whined behind the scenes without even debating any of it with me..." I agree with you and understand your viewpoint. But I'll bet that's what the dealer said of you too when he found out.
I have no problem with what you said or how you said it. Again...I'm glad you did...it helps me to know that maybe I want to stay away from Walker's Super B. Truth be told, I keep wondering if I should try one. Your information helps me to know that I probably shouldn't waste my money.
Having read this whole thread for the first time I dont see why any jag would try to play narc about an honest review. Hopefully your dealer and you got it sorted out. People never surprise me.
Pretty crazy, Personally I wish they made these mowers with a GHS style hopper but a deck mounted blower. Basically a Grasshopper with the collection system.

I was using "whining" due to the fact that you pointed out you seemed to think that was how I was coming across.
I don't agree that a LCO on LS stating negatives or positives about a product is going to do damage, or effect them positively, to the point or you seem to think it could. Sure if I read a review on a product I'm interested in I may then have a mental list to check off when demoing a mower I'm interested in. I would hope no intelligent person would take any review as the final word. And if anything, the company or at least a good company, will take feed back and better their product. So in this sense it could and should be a positive. In this case I had someone call trying to find out if the demo came from this dealer, in a sense putting blame on them for pushing the demo and judging me for my written opinion negatively. I'm working with a company right now that is aggressively looking into positive and negatives about their product for this very reason and their focus is not to worry about a negative getting out to the public but rather seeking the negative and positive out to build a better unit faster.
I think where we differ is you see a product brand as a possible emotional relationship that is to be treated like a person instead a tool of the trade. I was not attacking anyone personally in my review. My intent is not to harm anyone writing a review on a piece of equipment. On the contrary it's quite the opposite. The intent was to help fellow LCO's that are interested in another operators experience and opinion. That is all. If all the reviews with any negative opinions were taken off of LS to keep from damaging others and affecting people's livelihoods...whether manufacturers, distributors, or dealers ,as you state, it would be a pretty empty and less helpful site.
Overall I understand what your saying and agree with it for the most part. We just differ in opinion on weather anyone should express a negative opinion on here and weather it is damaging and to what degree. I don't seem to be getting much warmth for all the positive things I said though.

A review is just what it says, "a review," you post truthfully what you saw and experienced, some will like what they read, some will not. What people like or do not like is insignificant, people will glean information they feel is useful to them personally, these are the ones that benefit, not the ones looking for any part of a review they can criticize.

A traditional flathead banjo completely faithful to the original '30s models.
The Gold Star GF-100FE Mahogany Flying Eagle 5-String Banjo was created to meet the demand among banjo players for what most agree is the ideal bluegrass banjo: the flathead that was built in very limited quantities during the 1930s. This banjo is a direct descendant of the GF-100 5-String Banjo built to great acclaim in the '70s and '80s. It has a select mahogany neck, bound mahogany resonator with inlaid double concentric rings, a cast bell-bronze tone ring, deluxe 3-ply rock maple rim, double coordinator rods, a single-piece die-cast flange, Presto tailpiece, armrest, and geared planetary tuners with geared fifth peg. Hand-cut mother-of-pearl inlays are laid out in the Flying Eagle pattern on the ebony fingerboard and peghead overlay. All hardware is triple nickel-plated. It is shop adjusted and comes with a deluxe reissue Gold Star hardshell case.
Gold Star took 25 years to improve these already legendary instruments. Make sure you get yours; order today!

Comments about Gold Star GF-100FE Mahogany Flying Eagle 5-String Banjo:
I played a Gibson RB-8 and an Ibanez Artist model for years and loved them both, but especially the Ibanez, which had great tone, was really loud and stayed right in tune. When they were ripped off I eventually had to look for a replacement. After bidding on a few used Artist models, I decided to spend a bit more and get a new Gold Star, based on its enthusiastic reviews.The new Gold Star FE100 is a quality instrument. The construction, finish, and sound are tops. The inlay work is beautiful. This banjo (a re-issue) lives up to its reputation as a faithful copy of the heavy Gibsons in looks and playability. It's a great banjo and I recommend it to anyone.One thing you should know is that this banjo is made in China (previously Gold Stars were made in Japan). The quality however, is tops.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
OK, I actually bought these a few days ago, but they arrived today…
A boxed set of Cuir de Russie parfum, 3 x 7 ml. I opened one of the bottles an hour ago to dab some on, and it smells great so far. Bolder, tarrier and more leathery, but at the same time also softer and rounder.
The date codes under the bottles say 94 U… Could it be so straightforward as to actually mean 1994? I don't know, but my guess is that these are from the 80's or early 90's. I've also seen quite a few spotty labels from that era, maybe because of the adhesive they used?
Ab fab, Tott ! What a find !

Cristalle Edt or Eau Verte?! What do the ladies think? Someone? Help! lol
People say that the Eau Verte is the most wearable but I think it works perfectly with the Edt as well. So...
... Here's the new addition to my Chanel collection. Chanel Cristalle Edt 60 ml.
Amouage Memoir Woman AND Vero Rubj EDP. Wouldn't usually have purchased both at the same time, but I have been DYING to get Rubj since forever. Couldn't wait another month.

I bought 2 50ml bottles of Coty Wild Musk for a TOTAL of US$9.58. Yes -- under $10 for BOTH bottles.
Musc Ravageur and Muscs Koublai Khan are still my favorite "naughty" musks. (I don't find either of them to be "dirty," but they are DEFINITELY naughty. )
I love SL's Clair de Musc for a clean musk, but, holy cow, Wild Musk is pretty darn fantastic and, at 1/10 of the price for SL, Wild Musk just has to be my favorite clean musk. I don't see any way around it.
Also, I've read a number of BN reviews indicating that others find Wild Musk to be very animalic/skanky, but I don't get that at all. Maybe my skank-o-meter is broken, but I think this is just clean (as musks go) and fantastically warm.
ohh, just when I thought my blind-buy days were over I fell into temptation late.. late...late... last night and bought GIANFRANCO FERRE ESSENCE D'EAU EAU DE PARFUM. I'll report when it arrives.

*In my original
article I wrote, as did Laurence Dunn in his books "Passengers
Liners" volumes One & Two, that Pendennis Castle was the first ship
of the fleet to have waitresses, but, I have received many emails from ex crew
members and one "Stewardette" saying this is wrong and that the
Transvaal Castle was actually the first ship to have them. If there are any
further comments re this I would appreciate them, for originally I took the
said information from a
However, it seems that there is much dispute regarding this from the folk in S/Africa, and whatever the case, well she at least had Stewardettes! The English folk have never written re this, and let's remember that thankfully they were English ships and certainly not S/African! It has only been S/African writers, and I need to say this, have attacked me in a most VILE WAY, and have been extremely rude to say the least! They certainly do their country and reputation no favours whatsoever for I do not tolerate extreme rudeness! Thankfully I do know some delightful South African's from Europeans and Black African background and they are the backbone of the land, not these hideous foul mouthed cretins! I am sorry, but this statement needed to be made.
Memories of this fine Liner will long remain!

Thanks for visiting MMOCarts.com
To the World of Warcraft players, the wow gold is the most important wow item for them in the gold and farming game currency is a time taken and boring thing. And for most game players they will create different wow character in different faction, so could it possible for them to transfer gold from alliance to horde in world of Warcraft patch 5.1? Some game players say that wowers can transfer the game wow gold between the factions so how to do it?
There is no progress to directly transfer your wow gold from your Alliance characters to your Horde ones. The habitual work around is to get the aid of a trusted third party who has a symbol with neutral AH access. For example, your Horde character would place one item on the neutral AH through a buyout set to the purport of money you're aiming to impel across, and your Alliance character would accord. The third party the amount of riches you wish to transfer to your Horde symbol. The third party then buys the Horde strongly marked personality's item with your money. This has the potential to go wrong if the third party isn't as trustworthy considered in the state of you thought.
If you want to make it successful you need a friend you can trust in the faction and make full use of the neutral auction house. You now have to have a friend on another account help you because you can not bid on your own auctions. Your transfer will be subject to the 15% sellers' fee that the neutral AH applies to all completed sales. Get 2 accounts or a friend you really trust on another account to help you. Buy something on the alliance/horde side that is about the price you wish to transfer. Make sure it is an Auction-able item that sells for at least what you paid for it in the faction auction house you are transferring to.
Post it in the neutral AH for 1 silver. Immediately have your friend buy it out at 1 silver. Have your friend then give the item to the ton you want to have the money transferred to. Post it in the factioned AH for the buyout you wanted to transfer or just bark it out on trade chat. This way the neutral AH commission is charged 15% on the 1 silver final sale price 15 copper. There's a couple more steps to it, but the transfer will be completed and you only lose pennies instead of gold.OR Let's say you want to transfer 1000 gold from an Alliance character to a Horde one. As the Horde character, find a worthless item. For instance, Dried Bat Blood from a Duskbat in Tirisfal Glades. Calculate the commission for the neutral AH. In the case of 15%, put the Dried Bat Blood on it for 1150 gold.
The methods I have talked about how to transfer gold from alliance to horde in World of Warcraft patch 5.1 can be the most easy and convenient one, to me I think transfer gold between faction is very complex and when you need gold urgent you guys can choose to buy Pandaria legit gold in mmocarts.com, instantly delivery, cheap pure hand work gold, 24*7 live chat support all of these customers service can help you gain the gold fast without banning.

For an animation I hope to have finished in time for the Texas primary.
For an animation I hope to have finished in time for the Texas primary.
I "promise"…..to make it easier…..for AAAALLLLL Americans……..to get tickets to Hannah Montana's concert.
If Obama wins, I'm 'hoping' that some 'change' remains in my paycheck.
Hey, you fell for everything else, go ahead…pull my finger.
Wow, Nick threw the neocons another "bone" to chew on.
First the sketch of William Jefferson Clinton and now Obama.
The Chron is a radical, neocon, right wing, Democrat bashing media outlet.
(whine, whine, whine).
I hope the animation deals with the similarities between former President Clinton's address to the DNC and Sen. Barak Obama's address to the DNC as well as the fact that Al Gore's "inevitable" win was undone by the Clinton's just as her "inevitable" win has been undone by Obama. That Karma is a bugger!
Nick I know political cartoons rely on characters with exaggerated features but that chin looks a little long even in that context don't you think?

Like Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz, someone threw the cold water of reality on him, and "He's melllllllllllting…"
"Melting?" Who me? Actually, now that I look at it again, I think Craig is right. I'm going to reduce that John Kerry-ish chin a bit for the animation.
Hey Billy,
If Obamma wins the "change" his is promising is what will be left of your paycheck.
After my check goes to pay child support for the whole country, all that will be left is "change". The government will be telling me to "keep the change".
Keith wrote: "After my check goes to pay child support for the whole country…"
That's because your penchant, and that of Bush's, is for the country to live on "credit" and to hell with who has to pay it later.
You care about the pennies in your hand while the billions are blowing away in the wind, toward China.
Hey lash,
That was started long ago. And your buddy Billy Bob Clinton let a lot go to the Chinese. You're a typical liberal that blames Bush for everything and you fail to admit that our country had a liberal congress and liberal presidents for 40 years than ran deficits and spent money like there was no end to the source, aka Johnson. Look at the whole picture.
Our liberal congress and the likes of Billary, Schumer, Wax man, Pelosi and Oh-Bomba will raise taxes and put more burden on the tax payer and business than you can ever imagine. Higher taxes will mean less jobs.
To be fair, as a conservative, I dislike many things that Bush has done and has failed to do. We have this mexican illegal immigration problem because the liberals and the liberal-conserviatives didn't have the guts to stop it by ending the freebies and putting the guard on the border since 911. Sure, they are not going to like it, but they will get over it. Just like you and the rest of America will not like the laws that will come to pass where they will all be leagalized.
There is something evil going on that is and will destroy our country. Right now there is no candidate that I would vote for, they all care about themselves. The change and peace Oh-bomba talks about is empty. Sure it makes everyone 'feel' good, and that is what everyone wants is to take the placebo message to 'feel' good. They can't take the sulphur medicine to get rid of the boil and face reality. The placebo politicians are going to give them the 'feel' good message in the shape of a pill.
After all, the Chinese are giving us the rub and tug and we're enjoying it. The world is giving them the best technology, that they can not design themselves, for bargan prices and they will copy it and use it against us. They are buying oil just to drive up the price. They have been playing economic warefare and we are too stupid to see it. And that has ruined our economy. You can't have the price of oil go from $50 to $70 to $90+ and not have it hurt us. Higher oil prices and lowering the interest rates is a poor economic strategy that will lead us into a recession, oh, we are already there. Both sides are to blame. Get ready twiytc.

Court has become a deterrent instead of detention for some North Texas students.

Increasing Travellers' Exemptions
The travellers' exemption allows Canadians to bring back goods up to a specified dollar limit without having to pay duties or taxes, including customs duty, Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax, federal excise levies and provincial sales and product taxes. Every year, Canadians take some 30 million overnight trips outside of Canada, often returning with goods purchased abroad. Modernization of the rules applied to these purchases was long overdue.
About the Initiative
Economic Action Plan 2012 introduced the most significant increase in the duty- and tax-free travellers' exemptions in decades, increasing the value of goods that may be imported duty- and tax-free by Canadian residents returning from abroad after a 24-hour and 48-hour absence to $200 and $800, respectively, harmonizing them with US levels. This measure will facilitate cross-border travel by streamlining the processing of returning Canadian travellers who have made purchases while outside Canada.
Who Will Benefit
This measure will further ease congestion at our borders, facilitate trade, reduce costs for travellers who have made purchases while abroad, and allow our border agents to better focus on keeping Canada secure.
Initiative Update
This measure took effect June 1, 2012.

For more information, please visit the I Declare section of the Canada Border Services Agency website.

Hello all,
I'm new to the Linux system so would appreciate some help. I'm trying to set up a home network as follows: cable modem> P3 using FC4 > hub > 2 AMD Athlon and 1 P4 both using XP Sp2.
Problem is when 2 Realtek 8139 NIC's are used as eth0 and eth1, FC4 is unable to connect to internet but when an SMC card is used (as eth1) internet connection is available on eth0 (SMC card has Sh@* itself). When P3 runs XP as ICS no probs with 2 Realtek NIC's. Also what Ip addresses would I need to enter if issue can be resolved. The hub is an oldie, a Compex TP3000/E with 6 I/O
A message at loading comes ; error at line 8 in /etc/fstab..rest will be ignored. Is this at fault???
The fstab error probably just means that it is having problems mounting a partition or device. It should not affect you.
I'm guessing the computer might be confused as to what gateway to use to get out to the net.
You can usually Firestarter to set the network for you:
This is a link to a more do-it-yourself howto:
This link is a good read for begginer's networking:
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
