O.K., yes, it's you Larry. Fine, you don't buy my reasoning; like I'm
supposed to be surprised by this!

Alright, so you made a point. I don't have a problem with your underlying
philosophy/approach to bulk ordering. As a matter of fact, I agree with
most of it, just not who it's directed to. I have a problem with the way
you came down on the guy, even though I'm sure Sanjay can speak for himself.
Again, it's a TOY Larry...O.K.? Yes, a wonderful toy, but a toy. Don't you
have bigger fish to fry or concerns of a larger scale?

Whoa! I did not say this and it's unfortunate you decided to base most of
your counter-point on something I didn't say! I don't know where you got
this paragraph from, but it wasn't mine, so I won't even honor it with a
direct reply.

Fine, I won't be bashful either. Never have I seen someone so educated and
intelligent stoop to such childish remarks. Maybe others are afraid to tell
you this here and maybe I'll get kicked off Lugnet for saying it in this
newsgroup, but you're a pompous jerk (and I'm sure many here will think the
same of me for saying it), and IMO, this whole thread proves my point about
how you conduct yourself. So, Todd, you have my permission to
suspend/obliterate my posting priviledges -- it was worth it.
And, Larry, take this to debate all you want, I'm not going with you. I've
got better things to do than to get attacked by you and your pals.
Take care,
Steve Berry
