Many pick and choose what they respond to even if it is a direct question.

ToiletMike: But, but, they're real pictures...
Nathan: What do you mean real pictures?
ToiletMike: Yeah, they gots a real picture of me posted while I'm workin.
Nathan: Let me check it out.
Nathan: Well what can I do?
ToiletMike: Gee, I spend my whole life on ContractorTalk, I got a toilet just like that one in front of my monitor. How do you think I got 10,000 posts?
Nathan: So what do you want me to do?
ToiletMike: You gotta delete that whole thread or I'm takin my 10,000 posts and going home.
Nathan: We cant have that! Your such a valuable asset and your communication skills are wonderful. I'll delete the entire thread.

Its important that we earn the respect of the trades that we work with. Its more important what the consumers perception of painters is.

Most trades show more respect for us than a few of those other tradesmen.

That we will unite to destroy a common enemy.
HO's love painters, we are the most important trade for them at the end of the day.

Respect must be mutual Scott. Personally I dont give a rats azz what the other trades think of us on CT. In the short time I've been a member on both sites I've read more than my share of crap from those guys about painters.
Agreed we must work on the public's perception of Painter's.

Nice catch on the edit!
POW!
I decided that just in case the gloves came off someday (and they always do on internet forums) that I remained anonymous.
I made the right choice.
No calls came in when they were posted, I can only imagine some of the calls I would get after today.

That was one of my first goals when I entered the field of painting. I looked at the type of painter that was making the good money and decided I could do better by showing up clean, sober, and on time.
Easiest goal I have ever set for myself.
