I used to get so aggravated that the guy wouldn't let me pick up a backglass to save on shipping, or let me pick up a drop target in an emergency. I'm not far, and there's a killer Chinese/Malaysian place near him where I could grab dinner. Two birds with one stone I figured.
He said he couldn't have people just showing up all day for stuff, or have people wasting his time not showing up for stuff altogether. But I guess he was probably worried a pissed off Canadian or European would show up at his door.
Maybe the OP has already won? I don't even see a website for Mad anymore. Just me?
