Old School, you need to take a deep breath and relax. I have made probably a thousand or more responses to various comments on this site and none of them have been Anti-Semitic and more specifically neither was this one. And from where did you pull that nonsense about asking if there is something unholy to me about being "Kosher" My question was a fair one and after your slurs you answered it. You said that "Kosher businesses are the best to deal with as they understand business and actually deal" I presume that when you say "actually deal", you mean that they will negotiate a better deal for you. I am from northwest Missouri and am not up to date on how various things are referred to, I can see how certain businesses such as meat markets or food markets could be referred to as Kosher, but when discussing a business such as a camera store, we probably wouldn't link it to any religion. Anymore than we would talk about a Baptist car dealership or a Methodist flower shop. Certainly we wouldn't identify a business by the dietary practices of its owners. Finally I would like to ask if you are this pugnacious with the folks you interact with on a personal basis? You seem very quick to come to anger. I also notice that you always blame others (the Snarkies) for making you angry. When you do this, you are saying that it is not you who is responsible for handling your anger, but the other fellow. Old School when you give up self-control to someone else, you are ceding an amount of your own personal autonomy. I suggest that, instead of immediately launching a personal attack, that you take some time to craft a more measured response. Thank you.

Dear Condescending Rodeoman. YOU picked out of the blue my comment about a photography store in Maine with the name Abe"s implying it was probably also run like the two already mentioned stores where they wear Kippahs and close for the Sabbath and Holidays and wear beards as orthodox. I was informed they have great deals at Abe's because they don't follow the manufacturer's list prices and import through other countries at times referred to as the "gray market." I did not discuss their business practices except to say I did not detect bargain prices myself. But I was informed they did not follow the mandated lists with US warranties but sometimes out of country warranties and lower prices. -----Who is the snarky condescending one?------So----go back to your hibernation and quit lecturing on who is arguing what. You are certainly the one originating this back and forth, not I.------------------
