it was practically identical to an earlier topic.. 'notice to noobs'
If it wasn't I wouldn't have brought it up.. You wrote the dude/man post not me.. It just seems like your mocking someones stance on selling to inexperienced people without lessons first.
I just did a search and read the topic you referred to. ^^^
That topic is about a shop.
The Dude and Man story is about two fictional characters who sell stuff privately throughout the year.
Footnote:
The majority of secondhand kite gear is sold privately, not through shops.
maybe there is flaws in your dude and man posts? Maybe they send out mixed messages?
Maybe your just old?
Either way keep up the good work. I love dude and man.
“Dude, I don't like what you post.”
“Why don't you like what I post, Man?”
“Cause Dude, I don't understand what your point is.”
“Didn't you read my post properly, Man?”
“I did Dude, but it's pretty ambiguous and my interpretation makes me angry.”
“C'mon Man, this is an open forum, everyone can post what they like.”
“But not if I don't agree with what you post, Dude.”
“Whatever Man, I just wish there was more wind so you had something better to do.”
“Now that's something I can agree with, Dude.”
When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean—that's faith DUDE; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two—that's science. MAN
Man and Dude need a Dudete in the fold,,,Jazzzzzzzzzzz it up a bit for em,,,,,nooo wot i mean!!!!!!!!
Start a poll I say.
Regulars here will know Puppet & Slave have faced off (sometimes even seriously) on more than the odd occassion but this is a "forum" - definition = place for expression of opinions.
Just cos Slave is wrong most times he sprouts { 
lol } doesnt mean he is pushing some weird theory through his Dude & Man posts.
He is a very cunning-linguist 
. His turn of phrase is totally enjoyable.
I vote G.O. to Dude & Man - bring it on.
And besides: I also think Slave picking up on the 'no lessons/experience = no kit' thread was both topical (as comedy comment ought to be) but also pointed way more at resellers NOT retailers.
carry on....... lol
