This is Bob Tibbetts, isn't it?

The guy who swears that blue Alps and white Alps are identical?

He loves Northgates and I have dealt with him before. He is a good honest guy but I disagree with his opinion.

Agree with exactly fohat.digs said. He seems like a good guy, he's wrong about Blue Alps = White Alps. I'm pretty sure that's him.

That's because the switchplate at the least really is different, with blue alps having one that runs all the way down.

Since I've also seen people talk about how light blue alps is in comparison, I would also assume that white has a heavier spring.
