Hi Bob

I've run into this problem of only selling to "commercial user" my first response was to put my consulting business card on the counter this generally solved the problem. Only once buying bearings was that not enough. Solution purchase order from Canadian Military Pattern wonderfull what you can do with a computer. Guy look at the purchase order saw the web address, checked the web address and then filling the order.

Only time this approach didn't work was with fabric company from California that would not sell to me because I was a foreign company, guess New Hampshire is now the southern most Canadian Provence.

Cheers Phil
