I know Mr. Harper from the Coffee Bean near UNLV. He's a smart, professional guy. He's not a freeloader, nor does he use profanity.

Mr. Prestia's character assassination is childish -- period -- and his comment that "I could charge you for taking out your laptop" shows a control freak living in his own little world. Nothing in his response does anything to make me think that he is anything other than what Mr. Harper portrayed: pathetic and unprofessional.

Mr. Prestia also says: "Currently it is hard enough in our economy for a small business to exist without an article like this one based on a personal perception." Yet he doesn't even try to dispute that, in fact, one does not get free internet with purchase at his store -- instead one gets hassled. There are literally hundreds of coffee shops in Vegas doing just fine, many offering free internet. If the one Prestia runs is struggling, perhaps it's not the fault of a single person using a service that he takes pains to advertise.

No more It's a Grind for me.
