That's true Don. This sort of stuff happens here because of familiarity. We've all known each other long enough here to form strong, but not always accurate, opinions of each others personalities.
We've all known Joey a longtime. The Joey you know may be different than the Joey we know. The same goes for each of us. Depending on where, when and how your experience with Joey happened, you may a whole different take on the Man than I do. Does that make sence?
When I read Joey's post, I had to smile. Over the years, we have spent hours together on the phone. Sometimes we bump heads, but I know there is a good guy under that sometimes rough exterior.
I also know that Joey and I have made a few "behind the scenes" deals. None of know, or should know, the details of of our private business. There is too much discussion of the business end of Letterville on this Forum. It happens because we share too much with you. Too easy to do when your users are also your best friends.
We often hear that all people are not treated equally here. For example. If someone asks about clipart, one of 2 things will happen. They will either get a lecture on the evils of trading copywritten material, or some of us bend over backwards to locate and advice the poster to "look in your mail." Depending on where you sit, it does suggest the "status" of the person making the request is a major factor.
We have to make all sorts of decisions everyday. Barb and I are no different than any of you. We have all sorts of issues and challenges going on in our lives, just like the rest of you. There are many times we disagree on the way we read the same post. There's lots of heated debates on our real life Shortreed Family BB.
There are a few things we can do. Resist choosing sides, and getting too personally involved in stuff that upsets you. Leave the day to day business of running the website and sorting out the good and bad guys to us. We always welcome your suggestions and opinions, but let's do it via e-mail or phone.
One last note. We have decided to sell the website and take a rest while there is still time to enjoy it. It will be exciting to see our Letterville dream soar even higher with some fresh, healthy and more wealthy thinking at the helm.
Please!!! Stop the damn fighting!

Is there a timeframe you have for this to be taking place Mr. Mayor????

No idea Mike. There is no real rush. We need to talk to some professionals, determine price and all that other stuff. We'll take things day by day.
I wasn't comfy rereading that quote Mike. The dream I was referring to is Letterville...nothing in our own future.
Jack. I'm not sure how to answer your question. Is there a real question there or just an attempt at sarcasm? That's the problem with text. You might be paying me a compliment and I'm not seeing it.
Truth is I do feel just a bit guilty about all of this. I felt the same way selling off our sign biz back in 1994. After talking with a bunch of people I respect, I now feel comfy with the idea of NOT spending my last day alive at the controls of Letterville. I prefer to be at a meet somewhere painting and flirting.

Joey, can you make it so the whole thing packs as one complete unit, so that the upright piece is somehow a part of the carrying package, and I agree it needs additional shelving, but didnt you offer a 3 shelf model at one time? also maybe the upright piece does attach to the package as you carry it but i never saw it carried that way yet.
PS: did you ever find the one you said you had for me?

Harris, they come w/carrying handle, upright center post bolts to side of lower tray and upper trays fit on center stand, only thing from there I "might" add, would be wheels or roller balls on bottom of tray, so it could be rolled when in a folded, and upright position, but then they destroy one of this karts virtues, it will slide alongside of anything for storage or traveling, wheels would make it an awkward shape to pack easily...or store.
I've done some additions to mine, but kept in mind the need to pack for traveling, it's best to keep sides free of anything that might get broken, cause something to get broken, or ripped, or scratched, or any mirade of things known in some circles as shyte happens, nothing you can do about that except try and head it off with good planning first.....hell, I'm even looking at some way to fold the wheels when traveling to get them out of the way...may have an idea on that, as I've decided to convert to air filled tires, I may just make a lower frame for everything, take the wheels off the lower tray completely and fit it onto new frame, just let gravity hold it there...that way all I have to do is find a way to pack the frame w/wheels, hmmmmm, maybe a trailer hitch, wonder if that would be considered a trailer??? Scotty's doghouse, like in the doghouse now???? mobile beer cooler???? hmmmm, a set of shocks, so weight could be dealt with, it COULD pack paint kit, hmmmmmmmmmmm

Joey, "Killer Kart",why don't you just give evrybody a FREE 'Killer Kart", that always seems to work, then everyone will love you & your "Killer Karts". I know I LOVE my "Killer Kart", oops, I think I just endorsed your "Killer Karts"!? I wouldn't change a thing on your "Killer Karts",well, maybe you could add a holder for a couple of "Xcaliber" stripers, a couple of "Art-Kups" & a spot for some "Brush Preservative", on you "Killer Kart">
Joey and Steve had this entire thing planned as a means of announcing the baton being passed.
Clever of you two!
Steve and Barb, your contribution to our industry and bringing personalities into the mix with the art has been tremendous! Thank you for putting up with us for ten years. None of the magazines allow for this level of interaction, so you stepped in to pioneer an entirely new vision and meet a need that hadn't even been defined.

Good one "Mr.J"... Yer in trouble now with the sign police that have convinced themselvs that Steve & Barb can't run this place without em...... .heheheh
I love my "Killer Kart" Too.. in fact I have one of my Shovel motors sittin on it now..........It definatly has a lot more uses than just to hold paint stuff..........although, when I play in the paint.....my box sits on top of it....
I think it's called a necessary "Tool for Professionals"... Hope Joey decides to start makin em again.....and whether or not, he "once again" becomes a "Merchant" or not, will be between "HIM & STEVE". Not Joey, and the Letterville Sign Clique..........
Steve..... Everythings goin great around our place... The kiddzz growin like a weed.(almost 15 now.....sheesh ).. I did a bunch of stuff for the SEMA show and she's all hooked up with more Iwata airbrushes, compressors, instruction, and everything she'll ever need, to continue playin in the paint.
Man they sure are makin things easier for beginners to get things goin than when I started out (everything was a damn secret then )
Next thing , she's gonna want her own damn "Killer Kart".......cause she ain't gettin mine......hahahah Give us a holler sometime Steve.......we still lovezzzzz ya.
Yer Fren..........cj
PS...Maybe ya should sell Letterville to the sign clique around here for a half mill or so.....You and Barb go around the world to all the meets.......Hell they think they own the place now......why not get the bucks & make it official.... heheheh take care......
PSSS.... I figgered that since Joeys thread has gone all to hell anywayzzzz.....I might as well make it family day...hahah
Ya'll have a Good-Un
