I agree. I was simply making a point. This sentence wasn't the object of the post. It's amazing to me how a sentence in a post is pulled out and suddenly the entire concept is warped. Use your head. The post was why professionals with an urgent need for service will get it. And an amateur with an urgent need for service will probably also get it. So I'll re-write the sentence so people won't get confused. As a pro, and you have a very expensive production in place and a key piece of equipment goes south, and even though you have a backup, as any good pro will have, you do indeed have "first dibs" on the repair technicians.
