Yes Bette!
I have found the same thing to be true for me. On the down side, I just
hate it when the salesperson starts asking questions about your project
and then plays engineer by telling you "Oh that will never work..., you
have to do it this way." Usually I just tell them that they wouldn't begin
to be able to understand what I'm doing. The message here: If you are a
RS salesperson, don't presume to tell a customer how his project works.
Help him find the parts he needs and them sell them to him without all
the personal data question crap. Let me get in and out of the store as
fast as possible; someone I know might see me in there!! :-O
