Yep but I keep getting accused of doing or not doing things which are not true so I have to set the record straight. Take a look at the last accusation in post # 398 from Wes, Quote:"Canute, do you meet with your clients before the wedding to plan the music and itenerary? Every 'pro' I know does - except you." Now you tell me, am I supposed to let that go unanswered when it is a complete fabricated lie?It was directed at everyone not just you. Like most pissing matches both sides share blame.
However I do disagree with "idiot" not being used as name. Don't go Googling and posting a definition. I'm well aware of it's definition. Whether you said "Dan you're an idiot" or "Dan that's idiotic" it has the same net effect -- still meant to inflame and carry on the pissing match.
I don't think anyone has a problem with you choosing not to do weddings where you wind up doing some of what you consider planner duties. Hey it's your business! I think the problem lies with the belittling statements about those that do being people pleasers and basically chumps for carrying out others' duties. Therein lies the rub. Don't hate on other style of doing business and they won't hate on yours. Explain your way of doing business without the my way is better than yours spin on it. Your in a major city with big money being thrown around for planners, high end halls, etc most aren't - you have to remember that.
Don't think I'm picking on you Canute just pointing out what I perceive.
