Audio stores HAVE gotten weirder, and maybe BECAUSE of online purchasers.I had a highly regarded store owner accuse me of basically the same with a unit he was selling online, calling me a time waster, etc. Unfortunately for him, he did not know who I was from my email and AudiogoN ID and I "was" a good customer of his, having purchased a Naim CDS and a pair of Gradient Revolutions from him in the past (as well as directing a friend to his store who purchased an entire $10k plus system).
I do not think any attitude like what I received or Mr Fishwhatever received is necessary or helpful to highend audio. There will ALWAYS be timewasters and people who "shoparound" in ANY retail business, BUT a polite and courteous dealer has a much better chance of turning an online shopper into a customer than a rude one.
On a side note, before the Internet, did you ever try and trade used gear at a highend shop for new gear??? The amount of $$$ they offered for your used equipment was a crime ... maybe the Internet is just a way for the consumere to bite back on occassion.

Jeff
