What a horror story. Between shipping and bribes, we're getting maybe 20
cents on the dollar. I think kudos should go to everyone for a valiant
effort, no one should feel guilty for this outcome, we tried very very
hard. But still, it's frustrating.
And people wonder why I don't think much of governments.
Again, thanks to everyone who has participated in trying to get this to
happen...
