Actually, I think it's a great story (whether you think it was opportunistic

ordering systems.

Besides, now I know where all those cheap 7317's on E-bay were coming from :)

Great story Renard!

I bought them at the price anybody else walking in could have.
Are you suggesting that I shouldn't have bought any, and told them of their

something like this they have done it to themselves, I did not change the

feel is an inappropriate and slanderous charge by our legal standards) I
call oppurtunistic.
