Got this in my PM today? I have not been to a trade show since 2003 and never even heard of these guys but they sound pleased that I stopped by just the same:o

Thank You For Visiting SoCal Blanks at the 2015 ISS Trade Show!
It was a resounding success for everyone at the show and it was great to see the many familiar and new faces. Meeting current customers and talking to new potential customers is one of the best parts of working a trade show. We appreciate all the people who stopped by booth #1863. Thank you again for making this such a great event and for being part of the

 SoCal Blanks family. We look forward to building your brand in 2015!

Actually, that was not too different from the equally insincere and disingenuous come-on that was my introduction to Ryonet. As I later told Ryan on another forum, some of us actually are influenced by first impressions, (financial success notwithstanding), and would prefer a little more honesty.
I think also, maybe some folks are so used to deceit and bullshirt, that, for them, this is seen as acceptable.

Well at least they didn't send me a cheap aluminum key that could start my new 60K BMW....... or a toaster ::).
EVO, as far as the existence of another forum I think that could be some  more of the same deceit and bullshirt

UPDATE!
Almost on cue, Ryonet just thanked me for stopping by their booth, and now my wife is wondering how I sneaked down there, and got back before she knew I was gone. LOL!

One time long ago when we were looking for an auto, a salesman called and
my wife said he said, he was "returning my call". I learned right then and there
that was a tactic to get past what he thought was the secretary. Since I didn't actually
call him, it was a lie and that company was immediately out.  ;)

On the rare occasions I get to a show, I register under a few names. So I get two name badges. I use my real name for people that I know and want more information from. The carnies that bug me get my fake name. It's always funny to see the reaction of the receptionist when she starts getting phone calls for Lou Stules or Emmerson Biggins.

Mike Litoris was the name for the second badge my father used. We still get 10 plus calls a month asking for Mike, best part is we usually tell the caller we know he is here, just can't find him...  ;D
