In response to the post about selling on the Net...
 
It is an interesting conundrum isn't it?  Our manufacturers want to
protect the territories and the livelyhoods of their dealers.  They also
want to be assured there will be a qualified service to backup the
product down the road. I certainly can not fault them for that.  But on
the other hand it seems short sighted to ignore the vast market of
buyers who live nowhere near a metropolitan area with a mom and pop
stove shop.  It also seems shortsighted to restrict free advertising!
There is always going to be shopper who will buy from the source that is
the best deal no matter what.  If product X is restricted from being
marketed via the Net, and product Y is not, product Y will certainly end
up with more sales.  That is their choice.  I don't think you fight
company X's decision. If you want to market via the Net, you find
companies that not only allow such exposure, but encourages it.
