Richard, Richard,
you and I have done business before -
I bought at least 2 770 Enh Video Adaptors from you,
I think you have bought from me...
So stop trashing me!
I spent an entire afternoon driving around, using gas
(at $1.80 per around here!), wear and tear on my car,
and you begrudge me a profit and think I should sell to
list members at a loss.
Give me a break!
