Tom, next time you post a response to something I write,
it might be an idea if you try READING the message you're replying
to BEFORE you put your post in. If you read mine a bit more carefully
you might notice that I was actually defending the right of Americans
to buy from BB against someone who appeared to register some distaste
of the idea.
So comments like
> Are you going to complain that I "stole" 2 8880s away from Brits buy buying
> them from BusyBee? I paid over $50 shipping on those 2 sets alone, would
> you have to pay that much? At least you don't have to pay for overseas
> shipping to get stuff from BB, and can probably afford to call them every
> day to see what's the latest new stuff.
don't really make much sense in reply to my posting.
