Re: ATTN:CharlesW

Thanks. How long do us mere mortals have before we can no longer edit our original posts?

Here's the deal, we'll turn the option back on for with a time limit of a day or two, the problem is when someone comes onto the forum and posts something or asks a question, and then after the thread builds and some of us add detailed answers, and then the person goes back and changes thier post, all of a sudden our answers look like we didn't understand the questions or what was posted.

We don't like it when this happens so we limit the amount of time for editing messages, it's probably just a case of,

Hang on while we change the settings...

LOL riiiiiight! The way I see it, if the op has already been quoted, then changes the content, it just makes the op look the fool. On another note, I influenced a change here at MOL. Yay me!!!

Re: ATTN:CharlesW

My NAPA mitt arrived and it is virtually identical to the one from Wal*Mart.
Same size, same feel, even the same diamond embossed pattern on the cuff. The NAPA mitt has a black cuff while the WM mitt cuff is blue. They even have small plastic loops to hang them up that are the same.
Just so you don't misunderstand, I'm in no way upset with the mitt. It's just not worth twice the money. Three times the money if you add in the shipping charge.
I think my WM just carries a better brand of mitt than yours

I forgot to ask... was there any change after using it? Thats when I noticed the difference. I feel bad about it now.

That I can't tell you since I haven't used the NAPA mitt.
There is no reason for you to feel bad. The mitt I received pretty much looks like the one in your Meguiar's Gallery picture.
I was serious when I said my WM mitt might be better than some of the ones they carry now. I bought it close to two years ago and WM is notorious for beating suppliers down so much on price that many suppliers back off on quality to be able to meet WM's price demands.
No one twisted my arm to get me to buy it and your information was provided with the best of intentions. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to take pictures and post them for comparison.

Yes, it is disgusting. Two of many instances.

Since January 2001, Rubbermaid has shut down 69 out of its 400 facilities, and fired 11,000 workers. The equity research director at Associated Trust & Co., C. Mark Heaseldon, bluntly stated the reason, "To be able to meet the demands from key customers, like Wal-Mart ... [Rubbermaid has] to become competitive in price." He added that Galli would have to "shift about 50% of production to low-cost countries." This could force the closure of an additional 131 Rubbermaid facilities, and the firing of an additional 20,000 workers.

General Electric is one of the five biggest companies in America and the biggest producer of appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves, and TVs. The biggest outlet for GE goods is Wal-Mart. During the last few years, GE has conducted a large amount of outsourcing. The IUE union, which represents GE workers, has estimated that during the last five to seven years, GE has fired more than 100,000 workers, one of the nation's biggest outsourcing massacres. Most of this work was outsourced to Mexico, China, and Asia in general.
