Part of the problem for the local hardware store is the big box stores get a deal on inventory called 'pay on sale' which means they have NO carry cost for inventory.

The new rules are that

a) the subject line is to be used to convey some idea of what the post is about, not simply to post a mindless or empty word or short indeterminate phrase.

b) the person known as "recyclebinned @ gmail.com" is to be acknowledged here as a fool, buffoon, and moron.
