1st Portable Extractor - Buying Decisions

I see that, in addition to Carpet Cleaner Extraordinaire, you’re also an amateur psychologist.  Sorry to disappoint you, but verbal posturing doesn’t impress me and a little good-natured ribbing quit bothering me after I grew up.  If anybody “spits in my eye” we’re going to fight until one of us gets an ass-kicking, but that’s not what goes on here.  This board is loaded with valuable information, but if you can’t stand verbal give and take without getting offended, you found the wrong forum.

Actually, I was referring to my inclination toward listening to and considering the advice of those more experienced with the tasks I undertake.  I do this because:

1. I have found it to be a successful approach to growing a business
2. I am intelligent and ambitious
3. I have plenty of self-confidence, but I am not so arrogant as to think I already know it all, or even more than people with 20+ years in this business

I respect your military service and absolutely don’t mean any offense toward it, but it doesn’t mean you know jack about the carpet cleaning business.  You’re a CC rookie and your posts come across as know-it-all.  You’re getting the same reaction you’d give to a wet behind the ears recruit trying to tell you that his knowledge of naval management and logistics is superior to yours.
