Hello everyone I have been reading leatherworker.net for over 2 years this is my first post. I felt compelled to post this in defense of Steve. I bought an Artisan Toro 3000 In 2007 from Steve while I lived in Los Angeles, CA. The only reason I bought the machine from Artisan was because of Steve, as many of you have done. We all know about the situation between Artisan & Steve. Artisan's agenda has been to hurt Steve, and 90 percent of the members know this. He has been there to help us many times. Even though He does not work for Artisan anymore, I will still call him for help on my machine. Many of you feel the same way, including you Johanna, My question to you is why would you endorse Artisan when you know that there creditability has been questioned many times since Steve has left. Artisan has not participated, or helped anybody on this forum for the past six months. Steve is a class act and good guy. His creditability has never been questioned. Most of us members see right through Artisan tactics. Johanna, please don't under estimate our intelligence by endorsing someone who has not been there for our members this would be an insult. I was going to PM you, but I thought to myself why not post just as you did publicly. I'm sure there will be some backlash from the 10 percent of you but that's ok I'm a straight shooter and I speak the truth. So the let the chips fall where they may. Thank you for all for this opportunity, Gregg
