i have lobbed numerous bombs at bus depot in the past, including yesterday. perhaps my credibility on the list is low enough that it does not matter. nevertheless, i wanted to clarify that my motives have nothing to do with Ron personally. i have done a fair amount of business with him. being an american capitalist pig, however, i believe in the virtures of competition and busdepot is clearly the dominant player (the "microsoft") among the list vendors. we all benefit from his success, but without competition, i have my doubts as to how much or for how long. it's just the nature of the beast. besides, i have a certain affinity for anyone who, like me, wears plaid pants! steve |
