[alfa] Update on 164 compressors and Alfa Bill's response to rid himself of more business

["Jason Hagen" <hagen_jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To Alfa Bill:

Sorry to have found a better source of compressors, at a better price, than
what you offer.  I have heard various accounts of how your compressors have
worked out with the alternative clutch, so I felt it was better to give
digesters the information, the alternatives, and let them decide.  The price
speaks for itself.

It is called free enterprise.  Let the information flow.  I have (and others
have as well) communicated better and cheaper sources for parts on the
digest before and not had retaliation as a result.

To all other digesters,  Alfa Bill has decided (obviously on account of my
recent e-mail) to retaliate and to cancel a recent order I had placed for
parts for which I found him to be a good source.  Very professional
response, hugh?!  Well Bill, have it your way and lose more business.  And
hopefully others will be unimpressed with your professionalism and look
elsewhere for their parts as well.  I am quite certain I can find the parts
I need elsewhere.

For those that aren't quite convinced, here is AlfaBill's recent responses
to my newly advertised AC compressor source below in the following e-mails:
