Ultra Violet Resource ( URI ) dropped ETS this year because of their bully tactics! Island Sun Times and Tanning Trends also did not surrender to ETS's unreasonable demands! What is ETS thinking? The industry they once relied on is no longer supporting them. They still have the home tanners. Question is -- Can they survive when all they are left with is the home tanning market? Why else would they treat their own industry like this? Have they become so large they feel they can run the whole industry by themselves? | |

Rep Power: 0 | The magazines are all busy surrendering to ITA. They don't have to surrender to ETS too. BUT. Is there a big difference between ETS and ITA? There was a moment when that question was hard to answer. Then there was a palace coup and Dan the Man was elected president of ITA. Was that the moment it slipped out of ETS's hands? _________________ Lonn Dugan www.BIGdx www.suntanning.com www.TanningHealth.org[ This Message was edited by: BIG on 2003-01-14 09:12 ] |

Rep Power: 24 | Lonn … Is this post that you made your stab at humor? If it is give it up and stick to preaching .. I for one am very very proud to know that Dan sits in the position as our President of ITA. Dan is a man of GREAT business sense……. What does he have….almost 30 salons? Please don’t ever kid yourself by thinking that these salons just fell into his hands… Dan has had his own trials and tribulations as he worked his way up the mountain of success in our industry… He not only is a business man who works very hard on an every day basis making it happen……..He is a father of very young beautiful children, He is a husband.. He has his personal friendships and relationships he must work at and give time to. Dans busy ........ but he still serves with gladness........ He donates his time to our industry….You know that word don’t you Lonn.”DONATES”… You of all people have to understand that when you serve in this industry you do it because you love it……NOT BECAUSE someone is paying you….. Lets see Lonn how many years have you been donating your time..a bajillion right?????????? Dan represents us with integrity, drive and dedication…..and I think he deserves pats on the back and warm hand shakes and heart felt wishes….. NOT these kicks in the A$$ that some seem to want to always put forth. Dan has proved himself to be the BEST MAN for the job of OUR President for the ITA. I can’t think of a better, more well rounded individual we could have working for us…… and remember he doesn’t get paid…or perked or puffed up………He’s just an all around terrific man who exemplifies professional style and a sincere stand to make our industry grow and prosper for the years to come. ( and he’s a great dancer… that's a 10 pointer right there.) I am sure if any one of us needed Dans advice on a subject concerning our business’ or needed his advice on something going on in our states regarding laws, regulations or rules they could pick up the phone and he’d talk one on one with us…….. Do you think for one minute he feels warm fuzzies coming off the pages here from posts like the one above…………..???????????????? Come on Preacher…..where is that Brotherly Love you like to shine around the boards…….. Oh.I know Lonn.....the devil made you do it….right…. Let’s try to thank Dan more……Let’s try for one minute to put ourselves in his shoes…… Let’s try to see outside the box………… In the words of my beloved Shelia~ ~ OH TAY PANKY? Let the Love Light Shine Lonn……. C |

Rep Power: 28 | Thanks Chris for the wonderful eye opening post. Yes Dan is a good person. He serves all of us. I can not say it any better than what you have said Chris. Sure Dan would talk to any of us if we need to ask his advice. He told us so in Cancun, remember?? All we gotta do is pick up the phone or email him. He said he would help us one on one. Lonn, I read that you were into healing ~~~~ last night, maybe you should work on your attitude a bit, no??? |

Rep Power: 0 | Please read what I said... I was not saying anything about Dan except that he was the president of ITA and that this might be a good thing because it meant the end of ETS control of ITA. The post was about ETS slipping from power. Did not say a bad thing about Dan. Lotsa Love Here ! _________________ Lonn Dugan www.BIGdx http://www.suntanning.com " target="_blank">http://www.TanningHealth.org [ This Message was edited by: BIG on 2003-01-14 11:43 ] |

Rep Power: 0 | Don't forget how they attacked us for trying to make it easy for salons to purchase their products thhrough www.ourbigdog.com, even though we bowed and did it just as they required with their price fixing and secure password protection. No more TSS dollars will ever line their pockets. |
