How wonderful to have recovered this Katdarling-- and the other couple of pages!
I'll tell
my brief version of the tale for you Glam.....
Mr. Smooth One was indeed a registered supplier with a thread, as you can see. A quite popular and wonderful thread.

As occasionally the keepers of all things internet credit card usage get ornery and decide to ...., ur, mess with business on occasion, they wielded their power for their fun and amusement with no immediate financial loss, but still a PIA. (similar to Ebay's antics) (We helped keep his rent paid by using postal money orders and utilized snail mail.) Soon thereafter, Mr. Smooth chose to become a manufacturer/wholesaler while he continued his already in progress expansion of his liquid making facilities and supplied to that other on-line store, who sold to us and all was just fine. However, he did not qualify as a registered supplier as he wasn't selling direct and could not maintain a thread.

The Pow Pow thread was closed and deleted.
After some months Mr. Smooth got PV Liquids going as main distributor, a very close association, and here were are today in Katdarling's thread that announced it! That other place stopped selling the line, but Mr. Smooth is still a wholesaler selling to various outlets, with PV liquids being the exclusive on-line distributor......I think.
PS. As most of you know, a registered supplier can not post in a thread in this area of the forum --- but he can visit. Hi Mr. Smooth.
