I would say that your 99.9% number says more about your motivation than the motivation of most business owners. Especially those who create a product. If you offer a quality product or service you can expect a reward. Profit for the sake of profit yields dissatisfied customers.
I would contend that most merchants seek to add a modicum if not a plethora of value to a products for which they will be compensated. The symbiotic relationship between a customer and a merchant can/should best be described as mutually beneficial. If a manufacturer sells a product that best serves the customer with an installation by a qualified technician, then that requirement makes sense. I'm I wrong here? If so, Please explain.
As for the yelling (your word), sometimes large print is just that. My intent was to make certain you would not have to search for my meaning. If the bold print damaged your sensibilities then please accept my apologies.

Henry, what you misconstrue as arrogance is actually confidence and enthusiasm in the free market system. Capitalism. You may not like it much, but it's served us well for a long time. It's served us almost as well as our jury system, but I gather from your remarks, you're not fond of that either. Stick with what you know. Building motors. You're good at it, and I've certainly enjoyed looking at them.
Oh, and the "font" thing, you're good at that too.
