1.  Why are you referring to yourself in the third person?  Did you
mess up and post from the wrong sockpuppet account?

2.  Let me restore what I put in my post, as you prefer to wait over a
week, then oversnip the reply.

Check out the 4th sentence.  It was I who told you the best course for
affecting that bottom line (which you now agree is the course, you
just don't know the path).

No one here, including myself, has advocated "being ripped off".  If I
am wrong, please point out an instance.  I keep telling you over and
over to just send the damn thing back with an explanation as to why,
and let market forces sort it all out.  Tell us, have you sent the
damn thing back yet?
