I've definitely been a dick, but we both know why.  You have a bad habit of creating various unimportant (in the grand scheme) internet battles and ranting for pages and pages about it.  Now and then you'll offer a bet on some aspect of the battle and then nitpick your way out of it. I'm sure we would get along just fine in person, but your internet presence is, sadly, all I have to gather an opinion of you.  That's definitely not to your advantage lol I've up-talked your cases to everyone who asks.  I did it not 5 minutes ago for the umpteenth time.  The only time I've ever gotten close to knocking your case is when your glue failed after 2 years (and then I just PM'd you).  I repaired it with Elmer's Ultimate, and it was back to normal function ever since.  You're a crazy SOB, but your cases are pretty awesome.

Stalker-in-training or something. Actually I really shouldn't have you on the shit list. You're on it because you have been kind of a dick and have knocked the case you got from me even though you told me you liked it. Also you could have at least mentioned that you got a custom leather one for like $200 after I apologized for the delay in getting you the factory-made nylon one you ordered.

I hope it lasts you a lifetime. I think that Steve just had something come up where he needs the money more than he needs a $3000 cue storage case. I can't imagine what the case will look like if we ever create one that I would charge $3000 for. Ron Ross charges about $3000-$3500 for a fully tooled saddle that he builds himself. I can't figure out for the life of me how these cases get to the price. But then again I also can't understand a Louis Vuitton day planner costing $700 or a Hermes bag costing $15,000 with more than a year wait. I honestly hope that everyone who ever buys one of my cases feels like they stole it from me. We aren't the cheapest but I'd be happy to put my cases in the ring against any other case in any price class. Here is a link to your case if anyone wants to see what you depend on http://www.jbcases.com/rich.html :-) Thanks Rich. I hope it lasts you a lifetime.

I don't see these people turn their guns at Jack Justis regarding building the same elements of cases. I'm not bashing Mr. Justis about his case in any way but if you search around for Justis case, alot of them have the same elements & I don't see anyone complain about that, I always love to see stupidity of others making a big deal out of nothing.
